Castle Beagh has had a long and colourful history, being rebuilt around 1260 by the Knight of Glin on what is reputed to be the site of an earlier Viking fort. Later owned by a Cromwellian called Sir Hardress Waller, used as a defensive outpost at the time of the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th Century. Then used as a Coastguard Station between1835 - 1860. Its adjoining pier was once used as a stop for the Shannon packet steamer, and to facilitate this the road was brought to meet it in 1904. An imposing tower house with a spiral staircase leading to the second floor which can still be used today. There is plenty of parking at the location and can even be a park and grab, but would be a shame not to take in the Castle and the views across the estuary. The Cache is a standard snap box with plenty of swag to start with and a very unique first to find. Please place back out of site of Muggles as this can be a popular spot in nice weather.
