Discover Renvyle Castle

Did you know that the Revyle Castle was home of Grace O'Marlley, the legendary Irish pirate queen?

This 13-14th century Tower House ruin stands on the northwestern-most point of Connemara, county Galway. The NE corner of the four-story castle has fallen making the structure unsafe for much exploration. The SE corner contained a spital stairway and the western side of the tower contained great halls while the eastern side smaller rooms. The origin of this castle seems in mystery. It is known as an O'Flaherty Castle after he took it from the Joyce Clan. The O'Flaherty clan was one of the oldest and most powerful Gaelic clans in Connaught. The castle was the home of Donal O'Flaherty and Grace O'Malley after they married in 1546. Grace returned to O'Mhaille territory in Mayo after the marriage ended.

There is beautifull views up there across the Atlantic Ocean to county Mayo and even Donegal. If you are looking for some place to stay, I recommend The Olde Castle B & B Renvyle. There is a really nice breakfast and it is just few steps from the century Tower House. I stayed there for a night with my family! I hope you can enjoy too!!!

Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large hooked beaks for ripping flesh from their prey, strong, muscular legs, and powerful talons. The beak is typically heavier than that of most other birds of prey. Eagles' eyes are extremely powerful. It is estimated that the martial eagle, whose eye is more than twice as long as a human eye, has a visual acuity up to 8 times that of humans. This acuity enables eagles to spot potential prey from a very long distance.This keen eyesight is primarily attributed to their extremely large pupils which ensure minimal diffraction(scattering) of the incoming light. The female of all known species of eagles is larger than the male. For centuries, eagles have been used as reference birds in various contexts of life. The above quoted bible verses are just ...
