    Tips

    April 27, 2016

    On the web from Ballyvaughan to Doolin hides in a side street a highlight that you can quickly overlook: Ballinalacken Castle. At the entrance of the "Ballinalacken Castle Hotel" you can reach this, typical for Ireland, castle ruins from the 15th century. Once owned by the O'Briens, one of the oldest clans in Ireland, the castle, together with 100 acres of land, was bought in 1940 by the parents of the current owner, Denis O'Callaghan, and turned into a nostalgic hotel. At that time there was no electricity and the guests came from far away to "breathe fresh sea air". Today, the "Ballyinalacken Castle Hotel" is one of the top 10 Irish castle hotels. If you like, you can just take a break for coffee or dinner, or just like me for a picnic on the bench next to the castle.
