Peel Castle

Peel is the most unforgettable place, romantic for its castle, caves (which alas, I did not see), its rocky coast, and green mountains and pebbly stream, with large beautiful pool beside the ivied bridge.' (Dorothy Wordsworth, Journal of a Tour in the Isle of Man, 11th July 1828, M 10561)
