Ashtown Castle....

Our Mama and Dada brought us to the Phoenix Park. We went to the visitor centre. there is a playground there too. The name of the castle is Ashtown Castle, nobody knew it was there becasuse an old house was built around it and when the house was being knocked down they found the castle.















I was going to write what the sign said down but it took too long so i took pictures instead












































this is all new pottery but it was like what they used a few hundred years ago.












these are some of the things you can see at Ashtown Castle visitors centre







This is where the bones are




















The human skeleton is real
















































































these are stuffed deer








































This is me and Caoimhe outside Ashtown Castle.
we loved this trip but we want to go again because we didnt get to go on the tour of the castle.

You can also draw pictures upstairs and they have books you can take that have lots of things in them about animals of the park

It was really good. we give it 7 out of 10
