Ross Castle (pass by)

Ross Castle perches in an inlet of Lough Leane. It is likely that the Irish chieftain O’Donoghue Mór built it in the fifteenth century.Legend has it that O’Donoghue still slumbers under the waters of the lake. Every seven years, on the first morning of May, he rises on his magnificent white horse.

Its defenders, then led by Lord Muskerry, took confidence from a prophecy holding that the castle could only be taken by a ship.
