Dramatically positioned on a cliff overlooking the sea in Northern Ireland, Dunluce Castle is undoubtedly one of the coolest castle’s in Ireland. The sheer drop-offs surrounding the castle did not fully protect it from siege and countless wars, particularly from the fearsome MacDonnell clan.
The castle was so precariously perched that the kitchen and surrounding rooms literally fell into the sea during a bad storm and the beautiful 16th-century structure was abandoned. However, even in its ruined condition, Dunluce Castle has been used in movies and TV shows like Game of Thrones that are looking to showcase incredible scenery and a bit of drama. Although just one of many epic castles in Ireland, Dunluce combines ancient architecture and beautiful scenery for a truly magnificent experience.
