Running the mount is a joint venture between the National Trust and the St Aubyn family who live in the castle.

The medieval castle perched on top is now a National Trust attraction along with the amazing coastal gardens on the grounds.

It’s a huge tourist attraction that sees well over 300,000 people visit every year!

As well as a hot spot for visitors, it’s also a living community with a working village and harbour. There are 35 lucky residents who call it home.

Ausflug nach Krakau.
Meine lieblings Stadt Kraków in Polen haben wir auch besucht. Der Tico 🐕 hat für das Foto einen Smok Wawelski 🐉(der Drache vom Burg Wawel) Kuscheltier von meiner Tochter bekommen. Paar Erinnerungs Fotos und ein Foto von zwei Ansichtskarten mit Motiven vom Krakau.

#St #Declan
enter image description here
St Declan was an early #Irish #saint credited with the conversion of the Déisi people of east #Munster to #Christianity.

It was these #people - the #Déisi - who founded a settlement in #south-west #Wales.

A key aspect of this overseas link - the #import of #slaves, usually #British Christians, by Irish raiders - would have directly exposed Munster to the influence of Christianity.

#St #Ibar
enter image description here
It appears that Ibar was a #missionary #before the arrival of St #Patrick but he was also a contemporary of the #saint, thus he is sometimes regarded as a John the Baptist-like figure, the precursor of the national apostle.

In the earlier part of his life, he is said to have been a member of the #druidic order, thus providing an interesting example of the transition from paganism to #Christianity around the time of St Patrick.

Beggerin, of which he is regarded as the patron saint, was formerly an #island in the north of Wexford harbour but it has long since been one of the reclaimed Sloblands.

#StCiarán of #Saighir is depicted in a window in #StBrendan's #Church, Birr, Co #Offaly. Picture by Andreas Franz Borchert
#St #Ciarán of Saighir
enter image description here
Reputed to have been the #first saint #born in #reland, #Ciarán was a native of #CapeClear #Island off the #coast of #Cork.

He became the bishop of Saighir (Seir-Kieran) in the foothills of the #SlieveBloom #mountains in modern-day Co Offaly and remains the patron saint of the Diocese of #Ossory.

Lives of the saint relate #how he #lived in a #forest surrounded by #animals and wearing nothing but skins.

This corresponds to the image of him as a western John the Baptist, and thus like St Ibar, a precursor of the national apostle.
