Swords Castle / An Autumn Vlog in Swords #4K #GoPro Hero 9

Today, I am going to take you on a stroll around my neighbourhood in Swords and we are also going to explore the Swords Castle. I already have one video about Swords but I could not show you the castle because it was in time of lockdown. The Swords castle was built as the residence of the first Anglo-Norman Archbishop of Dublin, John Comyn. The Castle was constructed around the year 1200 or a bit later in Swords. The walls enclose a large walled area of nearly 1.5 acres with a tower and a gateway complex. The tower includes the Archbishop’s apartments, apartments for knights and a banqueting hall. You can visit the tower, and the banqueting hall, and the good thing about it is that exploring the castle is free of charge. The castle is managed by the Fingle County Council, it is used for festivals, private events such as weddings or as a relaxation place for the residents of Swords.
