Only a solitary ruined gate tower remains - a standing testament to the turbulent times experienced at Dunseverick Castle. It's free to visit and open year-round, but take care exploring as there are sheer cliffs on three sides.

Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland is an impressive ruin perched on a cliff above the sea. Its dramatic location and rugged rocky landscape lend the castle a special atmosphere. The remains tell a rich history and offer fascinating insights into medieval defensive architecture. The views of the sea and the surrounding nature make a visit an unforgettable experience. Dunluce Castle is a place that combines both history and nature in a striking way.

Absolutely overrated. Many trees have been broken or cut down. Completely overcrowded during normal daytime. You really don't have to go there...only if it's on your way.

De Burgh's castle was primarily a military fortress, notable for its robust defensive features typical of Norman architecture. The design included impressive walls and strategic positioning to take advantage of the natural defensive advantages of the clifftop location.

After a rocky and dreary section, the "view into paradise" comes through this bottleneck, almost out of nowhere. This walking section is unique!
