    Tips

    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.

        “… Home to the House of Greyjoy, GOT fans may not immediately recognise Dunluce Castle as the filming location for Castle Greyjoy, AKA Pyke Castle. This is due to the fact that a fair sprinkling of CGI was used. …”
