15 Beautiful Castles in Ireland to Inspire Your Next Trip to the Emerald Isle
"Built in the 16th century by the O’Flaherty clan, this castle is located near the shores of Lough Corrib in County Galway. The well-preserved example of an Irish tower house was restored during the 1960s, and visitors can see the remains of a watch tower, banquet hall, bastions, and an underground stream. Three species of bats inhabit the castle, and supernatural events, including the appearance of the gamekeeper’s ghost and the wail of a banshee, have been reported. The castle is open for tours." - Travel + Leisure Editors
