Temple of the Sands [Explored] - a photo on Flickriver

            Mussenden Temple is an attractive folly, inspired by the Tivoli Temple of Vesta in Rome, situated within the precincts of Downhill Castle just outside Castlerock on the North Antrim coast . Perched on the top of a 120-foot cliff, the Temple was built by the Bishop of Derry as a summer library in 1783. The bishop constructed the temple in honour of his married cousin, Frideswide Mussenden, with whom it is said he was infatuated by. However, dying at the age of 22, Frideswide Mussenden never lived to see the temple completed.
This photo was taken on Tuesday on our way back from a very damp and dismal Donegal!! On the left you can see a hint of the weather we left behind!!
