Clifftop ruins with a dramatic past
Dunluce Castle
Explore Dunluce Castle on the North Antrim Coast — medieval history, dramatic tales, and why it's the perfect finale to your Causeway tour.
Dunluce Castle perches on a dramatic cliff edge on the North Antrim Coast, dating to the early 1500s when seized by the MacDonnell clan. The castle's kitchens famously collapsed into the sea during a storm — a tale your guide will recount as you explore the ruins.
Built by Richard Og De Burgh, 'The Red Earl', the castle offered commanding views in every direction. His daughter became the second wife of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland, linking this remote Irish ruin to Scottish royalty.
The castle is child-friendly with disabled access once across the drawbridge. Allow 30-40 minutes to explore the grounds and photograph the spectacular views across to Scotland.
