Step into the stony heart of the Burren in County Clare and uncover the remarkable story of Newtown Castle—one of Ireland’s few cylindrical tower houses. In this short, atmospheric episode of Whispering Stones, artist and writer Bernice Cooke explores the castle’s unusual architecture, its powerful O’Loghlen chiefs known as the “Kings” and “Princes of the Burren,” and its transformation into the Burren College of Art. Perfect for history lovers, Irish travel dreamers, and anyone enchanted by Ireland’s hidden heritage. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
