Dunluce Castle

Perched dramatically on a basalt outcrop along the north coast of Antrim, Dunluce Castle was once the seat of the MacDonnell clan and has stood as a striking coastal fortress since the 13th century. With a rich history shaped by Viking, medieval, and later influences, the castle remains one of the most iconic landmarks on the Antrim Coast.Its rugged setting overlooking the North Atlantic has made it famous not only in Irish history but also in popular culture, featuring in Game of Thrones as Pyke and inspiring C.S. Lewis in The Chronicles of Narnia.Please note: this is a photo stop only. There is no entry to the castle included, but there will be time to take photos and enjoy the views.

According to myth, the giant Finn McCool built the Causeway to confront his Scottish rival—only to outsmart him in a clever twist that saved Ireland.
