点评: We chose a guided tour of the castle rooms, although it is possible to explore the castle exterior and gardens without the extra tour charge.
However the castle tour in the hands of our excellent, friendly, engaging and hugely knowledgeable tour guide "Liam" was extremely enlightening as to the history of the castle the lineage of ownership, the working staff and the historical workings of the castle/grounds during its life and events in local history related to the castle and it's owners past and present.
Altogether an excellent and informative tour.
On exiting the castle after the tour via a long and atmospheric servants tunnel there is plenty to do outside too with a walled gardens and acres of grounds with peacocks, fountains and lakes to explore. We didn't sample the cafe and gift shop on site as we had to rush away but they did look inviting none the less if we'd had more time.
Explore this excellent piece of Ireland's history if in the Wexford area you won't be disappointed.
翻译:我们选择了城堡内部导览游,虽然参观城堡外部和花园无需额外付费。
不过,在我们优秀、友好、热情且知识渊博的导游“Liam”的带领下,城堡之旅让我们对城堡的历史、所有权的传承、工作人员、城堡及其庭院在其发展过程中的历史运作,以及与城堡及其过去和现在的主人相关的当地历史事件有了深刻的了解。
总而言之,这是一次精彩且内容丰富的旅行。
游览结束后,穿过一条长长的、充满情调的仆人隧道离开城堡,城堡外部也有很多值得探索的地方,比如带围墙的花园和数英亩的庭院,庭院里有孔雀、喷泉和湖泊。我们没有去现场的咖啡馆和礼品店,因为我们必须匆匆离开,但如果时间充裕的话,它们看起来仍然很诱人。
如果您在韦克斯福德地区,一定要探索这段爱尔兰历史的精彩片段,您一定不会失望。
