October 11.
We came upon Cahir Castle in October, just as the trees were starting to change colour.
The moat surrounding the castle.
A colourful engraving of Cahir Castle when it was at its peak.
One of the more vicious gates at the castle. Imagine this coming down on your head!
A series of pulleys to bring the gate up and down.
A different entryway. 
Ancient interior decoration. 
A view through a leaded glass window.
A different view, this to the park surrounding the castle with the church off in the distance. 
A park area surrounded the castle, part of it semi-wild with a stream running through it.
The weir.
A bit of wild.
One section of the park contained many wood sculptures in amongst its manicured lawns.
