Belfast Castle: where fairy-tale vibes meet real-life views. 🏰

Tucked into the slopes of Cave Hill, this 19th-century gem is a must-see for its beautiful gardens, rich history, and panoramic views of Belfast.

Here's a fun challenge: can you spot all nine hidden white cats around the castle? Legend has it that the castle's residents will enjoy good fortune as long as a white cat lives there—a tale commemorated in the castle's gardens through mosaics, sculptures, paintings, and topiary.

Snowfall is sweeping across the island of Ireland, and even Croagh Patrick has a frosty new look. ❄️
With freezing temperatures setting in, this County Mayo landmark is looking a little quieter under the snow today.

Known locally as ‘The Reek,’ Croagh Patrick has been a site of pilgrimage for over 5,000 years. Legend has it Saint Patrick fasted at the summit for 40 days in 441 AD, driving out snakes from the island of Ireland. To this day, thousands of pilgrims climb its slopes each Reek Sunday in his honour.
