Once a grand, Italian-inspired home, Downhill House was devastated by fire in May 1851 and almost completely burned down.

It was a library, a retreat, a memorial to a somewhat scandalous love story and now it is one of the most popular and photographed buildings in Ireland.

The house you see was built in the 18th century A tremendous fire destroyed the house in 1851, and the library, along with numerous important sculptures and paintings, was lost. The house remained in the Bishop's family until 1948.

Built as a library for an eccentric bishop, this dramatic folly atop a cliff is one of Ireland's most popular landmarks.

Castlerock Beach is a stunning stretch of golden sand with a back drop of dunes and the Atlantic Ocean. There's car parking at the top of the beach and you can park on the sand throughout the year in the eastern section. The beach benefits from RNLI lifeguards in July and August but care should be taken when swimming all year round, as the beach is very exposed.
