3 Castle Head West Cork by drone

Back in 2020 I got my first drone it was a DJI Mavic Mini. It served me well over the couple years I used it, it may have got slightly abused at times though.. 

But, one of the first big outings I went out with it was to 3 Castle Head, West Cork. Now there is a bit of a hike to see this place, it's not exactly the easiest places to get to. 

Anyway, a drone opens up a new, very different, perspective to photography. I don't think I would have liked the photos I got from 3 castle head if it wasn't for the drone. the height and distance out showing the cliff added the view i think works for the place. I have since updated my drone the the Dji Mavic Mini 3 so 2 generations newer. 

I will add the photos of 3 castle head here, If ye want to know more about 3 castle head continue on down passed the photos..

3 castles head or Dunlough castle was founded in 1207 by a man named Donagh O'Mahony. There are 3 fortified towers/keeps, which is where it gets its name from.

These towers are connected by more than 100 feet (30.48 metres) of wall. The lake here is apparently Man-made(unconfirmed on my side) some of these walls stand at 15 ft (4.6m)

There are reports of a "white lady" who walks the shore of the lake. people could confuse the the froth that come of this lake on windy days as the "white lady". but the story goes if you walk 3 castle head and see the "white lady" it's an omen of your death in the coming days. 

Thank you for reading catch you next time
