Dunluce Castle

87 Dunluce Road, Portrush, Co. Antrim, Tel: 028 2073 1938

Dunluce Castle is one of the most identified landmarks on the Causeway coastline. Dating back to the 16th Century, the castle is a romantic ruin, perched on a dramatic cliff top. Legend has it that the clan Mac Donnell from Antrim lived there and, while entertaining one night, the kitchen fell into the sea taking most of the servants with it. Two ghosts are said to haunt the ruins to this day.

The visitor can walk around the castle and get a feel for how life was back then, with interpretive panels in each room. With spectacular views, there is also a Visitor Centre, audio-visual show and guided tours available on request.
