A ruined castle in an atmospheric location. Views over the water to Finavarra make this a stop to take a photo moment. The castle itself is fenced off as it is in a state of severe disrepair so it is best to admire it from a distance.

Beyond the Horizon

October 8, 2024

As you cycle through the quiet streets near the coast, the view suddenly opens up to the atmospheric castle ruins of Muckinish West Tower House. Nestled in the wide, green landscape, with the sea in the background, this place offers the perfect opportunity for a quick stop and a photo. The old castle stands alone above the coast, and although it is now surrounded by a fence and in a dilapidated state, this is precisely what gives it a special atmosphere.

The path to the ruins takes you along typical Irish stone walls that meander picturesquely through the landscape. While you admire the castle ruins from a distance, you have a fantastic view across the water to Finavarra. It is one of those places that makes you pause - the peace and the wide panorama invite you to simply take in the surroundings before continuing on two wheels.
