Looking to Donegal

This is the view looking west to Donegal from Mussenden Temple, a folly built by the Earl Bishop of Derry and dedicated to his cousin. They say he was infatuated with the (married) 22-year-old, but she died before it was completed.

The temple was the Bishop's library; the main house at Downhill was testament to his love of art, and the money he had to buy it. You can read more here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-13831872

Tomorrow, we head to Donegal.
