  1. There is a great place of interest situated about three miles from Kilmacoo. Castle Howard is the name of the place. There were people living in it by the name of Colonel Brooks Howard.
    It is a beautiful big place surrounded by lawns and woods. There is a massive big New found Land dog stuffed in front of the hall Door. In the top of one of the big towers there is a big clock which strikes every hour.
    It is lovely to walk on the beautiful lawns in the Summer I was often down at Castle Howard in the Summer time.
