The nights sky in tye West of Ireland. The Northern Lights or aurora borealis appears as bright, swirling curtains of lights in the night sky and range in colour from green to pink and scarlet. It is caused by charged particles from the sun hitting gases in the Earth's atmosphere lighting up the sky over Ireland overnight.

Tintern Abbey & Colclough Walled Gardens on the Hook Peninsula. An amazing place with huge history. Originally a Cistercian Monastery, built by William Earl Marshall in the 12th Century on lands held through his marriage of Isabella de Clare, Strongbow’s niece.

With the dissolution of the monastery in 1536 the lands were granted to soldier Anthony Colclough in 1562. Colclough’s remained living here for the next 400 years. Lucy Marie Colclough the last remaining family member to reside at Tintern Abbey left in 1959 having sold the abbey to the government. Lucy Marie passed away in 1983 at 93 years of age, she didn’t have any children.

Well worth a visit.
