A beautifully looked after castle ruin perched on the edge of a cliff outcrop surrounded by the sea and rolling hills. For a small fee of £5 you can gain access to wander around the remains with a map and audio guide included giving you a brief review of the history. There is a small information centre tended by knowledgeable and caring staff and across the way another small interactive archeology room with further information and activities. Stunning and rugged scenery and a wonder to look around. Parking is free and you can walk down to the small cove area under the castle with no charge though there are a number of steps. Very windy so hold on to your hats!
Perched on a hill overlooking the ocean, I loved the views from the castle. Photographers will love it, lots of eerie, scenic pictures to be taken and there's a nice little tourist centre beside it too explaining some of the backstory to the castle for history buffs.
Sitting on an isolated promontory accessed by a bridge this is a jewel in medieval Irish history. A beautiful castle, with magnificent views along the coast in all directions.
Unbelievably beautiful, this place was recommended to me to visit. The weather was so windy, I didn't go out and explore the castle for fear of ending up in the ocean. I felt like I was standing at the edge of the world, watching the storms roll in over the Atlantic. Very frightening and amazing at the same time. Perhaps I can get back at a time when the weather is better, would love to do some more exploring!
It is a place to visit if you are in the area, but pay to get in ? It would be good if we could get a ticket to enter several places then it would be worth it.
If you have the time, the visit to the castle is okay, not that impressive but quite picturesque. Incredible views from the hill overlooking the castle.
Castle ruins, cliffs, crashing waves, coastal winds whipping through your hair, sea mist cold enough to don your hat and gloves, and Kodak moments galore -- venture away from Portrush or Bushmills, and grab your camera!
I enjoyed visiting Dunluce Castle. I had the whole place to myself on an overcast weekday after visiting the Giants Causeway. While the castle itself is far removed from its glory, it's easy to imagine how prestigious it once was. It's also easy to imagine how much inspiration one could gain from spending time on these cliffs. I'm glad I stopped by before heading back to Dublin from my day trip.
Stunning vista as well as tremendous ruin for exploration. Really worthwhile for all comers. Original window casings in some parts, plus a few vertigo inducing views. Incredible stop on the Causeway Coastal drive.
We did not get to go inside as we found this castle on a drive along the northern coast and it was closed for the day but we walked around the grounds and explored and had an incredible experience! We got there right before sunset and it was the perfect time to be there :)
