The Historic Moore Hall Taken Over by Nature

Sometimes, the past and the present can collide in the forest with a tangle of trees and bricks. And that's exactly what's happened in County Mayo, Ireland. There was once a time when the historic Moore Hall was one of the most stunning buildings in the country. It was surrounded by beautiful grounds and decorated with ornate furnishings. But then the IRA burned Moore Hall almost to the ground, and only the ruins remained.

Over the years, wildlife has taken the building as its own, and those who walk through the forest will just see crumbling bricks in its wake. However, it's in the process of being refurbished.
