You can stride out to the end of the valley to the foot of the rock upon
which stands the ruin of Dunhill Castle, burnt by Cromwell's men and then climb the route
which brings you to Dunhill itself, important because here is the nearest pub, Harney's.
Here you can refresh the inner person with, maybe, a pint of some restorative, research a
little local history and gossip, rest a little, drift into a dream a little and then
stroll home. There are many ways to wander, roads, paths, boreens, and sights to be seen, but it can rain in Ireland and the wind can blow; this, in Annestown House, is not bad news. This is the time to move indoors, pick a book from the shelves and ease yourself down by the fire, or look up the rules of Billiards and prowl around the green baize, or stretch your fingers over the keys of the grand piano. In short, don't make your visit too short; this is the place to give yourself a second night, to regroup, to release that long slow breath of utter contentment. |
