Great place for exploring, last time i found abandoned tunnels and stepped inside the old chimney

Montée sportive pour arriver aux lead mines. Magnifique panorama, la mer d'irlande en fond de carte postale. Pique-nique sympa sur l'herbe rase mais largement déconseillé de tenter la montée, pour spécialistes.

Uma torre linda no meio das colinas de Dublin! As estradas são estreitas portanto tenha atenção mas a caminhada é muito curta e muito acessível. Em dia de sol tem uma vista incrível para os campos verdes e para o mar. Um sítio que recomendo visitar! Para conhecer mais sítios visita @sobretilhas!
