    Hiking

    Ballybunion Castle (also called Castle Bale Bonan) was built at the beginning of the 16th century. Today's ruin looks back on a long history. The castle sits enthroned on a cliff on the coast of the town of the same name, Ballybunion, to the left and right of which there are wide sandy beaches.

    Built at the beginning of the 16th century, Ballybunion Castle strikes a formidable pose on the cliff tops, even though it now in ruins. To the left and right of the castle are wide sandy beaches and the popular holiday village of the same name just behind.
