Dunluce Castle is a now-ruined medieval castle in Northern Ireland, the seat of Clan McDonnell. It is located on the edge of a basalt outcropping in County Antrim (between Portballintrae and Portrush), and is accessible via a bridge connecting it to the mainland. The castle is surrounded by extremely steep drops on either side, which may have been an important factor to the early Christians and Vikings who were drawn to this place where an early Irish fort once stood.

Dunluce is one of the most picturesque and romantic of Irish Castles. With evidence of settlement from the first millennium, the present castle ruins date mainly from the 16th and 17th centuries.
A really perfect place to take a rest, or dodge a Rain shower is the 'Mermaids Cave' underneath the Castle Ruins. It has an amazing atmosphere. Just sit for a while, and enjoy the special ambience as the sound of the Sea reverberates throughout. You don't have to enter the Castle to reach it, so this is a treat that can be enjoyed anytime for free.

A very impressive castle, part of which has collapsed into the sea along with the cliff. The visit can easily be combined with a visit to the Giant's Causeway.
