The cottage owners told us about a few of their favorite places in the area. One of which was the Staigue fort, but in their thick Irish accents, it sounded like "visit the old fart". Ella was convinced we were visiting an old man until about 10 minutes before arriving. Visiting old farts became our running joke in Ireland.
The fort was super cool, built around 400 AD. The kids love climbing in, on, and around it. It's pretty impressive that something so large was built so long ago without mortar or machinery.
After the fort, we headed out to see a castle about an hour away. The kids started getting antsy in the car, so we made a few stops. One was at an overlook to a beach. We got out of the car and climbed down to the ocean. We loved the colors of the ocean mixed with the stone.
