Aerial photograph specialists Copter View posted this superb shot of Castle Roche on their website earlier this week.
The shot shows the castle and its surroundings in all their glory.
Castle Roche is known in the old records as “Castlellum de Rupe” is a Norman castle built in 1236 AD.
Little known outside of the area, it is among the most spectacular in Ireland, crowning a rocky outcrop in the hills north-west of Dundalk, It was the seat of the De Verdon family.
As you can see from Copter View’s aerial photo the stately majestic ruins of Roche castle are still in fine preserve.
