Description

Gothic Arch in Belvedere.
I just love this Arch and it was the first time I got so close to it and touched it!!! :love:
I have a thing about touching old buildings and historic sites. Who knows the history behide it, who knows who touched it so many years ago. It gives me shivers!!! :aww::giggle:

If you go here you can see Walking Through Belvedere the shot I took from the distance about 2/3 years ago. Its worth the look!!! :love:

Its a very beautiful Arch I have to say and its huge!!! :wow:

It looks very intimidating but the bench and Eagle Statue makes it look a bit more inviting I think.

Its one of my favourite shots of my Belvedere shots for sure.

Before you ask I have no idea about the Eagle Statue!!!
I think its just there for show or something :nod:
Like the Lion Aslan :heart:


Location: Belvedere House, Garden & Park, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland.


More about Belvedere

An oasis of beauty in the Midlands is there to be enjoyed. Belvedere House Gardens & Park can be discovered on the shores of Lough Ennell, 4 miles from Mullingar in Co. Westmeath and just an hours drive from Dublin.

The Belvedere story is one which is steeped in scandal and provides rich opportunities to capture the visitors imagination. The Estate comprises of 160 acres of parkland with 6kms of magnificent woodland and lakeshore walks. Several follies adorn the landscape including Ireland's largest folly - The Jealous Wall. The restored Belvedere House is an 18th century hunting/fishing lodge designed by the renowned German architect Richard Castle for Robert Rochfort, later the 1st Earl of Belvedere. A fascinating Walled Garden, designed by Ninian Nevin in 1857, contains one of Ireland's finest collections of rare and special plants.
