Autumn views in Ireland are magical. Trees turn shades of gold and copper, hillsides take on deeper tones and even city streets feel different. It’s the perfect time to grab your camera and take a forest trail, a clifftop path, or a riverside stroll with a view. 🍂📸

The final episode of #TheHillsAreAlive (@RTEOne 6.30pm) charts the change of seasons from Christmas to Easter at @kylemore, where the sisters mourn the passing of their former Abbess while welcoming new life to the estate in springtime. Thanks to them for sharing their lives.

It was a pleasure to meet this Connemara stallion, Mountain Cascade, during my trip to Ireland. He is covering the mares at Kylemore Abbey - they’re going to be special foals! 😍🐴 @Kylemore

No matter how many times I bring guests to @Kylemore I learn something new from the guides. So many of them like Eithne, whom we met yesterday, are also past pupils of the school so they have an extra insight into life in Kylemore @Failte_Ireland
