Cork’s famous goldie fish is about to get a run for its money thanks to the new kings of this castle. The owners of historic Belvelly Castle near Fota in East Cork have crowned it with a striking work of art, complete with a golden tree. “We met at Belvelly over a year ago and they told me all about this exciting project and the history of the castle,” she said. “I wanted to make a sculpture that would reflect that feeling and so I made a human figure contemplating a gold tree. It will have a sunroom on its roof from where the new owners will be able to overlook Belvelly Channel, a special area of conservation.
