The Castle Hunter: Clonmines [Private Site]

Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.
So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

From the Google link given above there is a car park which was very uneven with massive pot holes so please be careful, there is also a slip was into the estuary, it is the most magical place and very much worth the detour, also from the car park you can see a Cornish engine house one of few that were exported to Ireland.
