    • Both were great, there’s an interesting old church near the castle and Garlieston is where the vital Mulberry harbour was tested in WW2

  1. Fascinating. I previously thought (assumed) all the Mulberries were built in the south – but testing them further away from prying eyes makes sense!

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
