September 24, 2023 -- About four miles north of Cobh, we stumbled upon a castle called Belvelly. It is a 14th or 15th century tower house in County Cork. It overlooks a bridge. We didn't realize it was a private residence when we started were walking around it. There didn't seem to be anybody home. I wished I lived in a castle.

There was a gazing ball in the courtyard, which offered some neat views of the castle. I have a small one (called a lens ball) for taking pictures.
