On this rocky headland there once stood a mighty fortification, Dunaverty Castle. Built around the 8th century, the castle was accessed by a drawbridge. Whilst nothing survives of the castle today, other than the rock on which it once stood, it is a magnificent place to be with great views out to sea and inland.

Go to the boathouse and say "Hi" to the owner. Fantastic chap!

I'm sure it was once a nice castle but no longer visible.
