Amazing views. We stopped on Roadside first and took pics & video from there. It was close to low tide but still got video of the blowhole spraying up. Then drove to the small parking lot at the base of the castle. Short, easy walk up the hill to the castle. (Take a walking stick for extra stability if you have a little mobility issues. ) Be sure and walk over to where the blowhole "erupts". As it's Fall & off season, there were only a few other tourists, so traffic was light and no problems parking.

Stunning place - wonderful to explore the rocks and surrounding landscape. No one else there when we visited which was amazing

Lovely free place to visit. We went on a blustery day and was still a great thing to do. The pebbled ‘beach’ round it and windswept and sea sculpted stones are lovely to see. Easy to spend 30 minutes just wandering about.

The castle itself isn't anything particularly amazing, but the location is stunning on a sunny day. Lovely pebble beaches, rocks and turquoise sea.

Located a very short drive from Doagh Famine Village, this small castle along the coast offers spectacular views of the sea and surrounding areas. Access to the inside of the castle is barred by a metal gate. However, this doesn't spoil the wonderful views nor the soothing sounds of the gentle, lapping waves present here. A worthy excursion.

Beautiful spot with lots of history and stunning views. Park on the grass and after 20 meters you are in the castle grounds. Seek for the wave splash behind the castle but I think it's visible only on high tide waves.

Although there is not much left of the castle, what is left is wonderful to see and explore. The sights around the castle are amazing and we absolutely loved watching the ocean crash on the rocks. There is a small beach beside the castle which is great for getting a better angle of the powerful waves hitting the cliffsides. I would reccomend this to anyone in the area who is looking to see some history and some nature all in one.

Great place to visit at high tide 🌊. There is a small parking lot behind the buildings. If you proceed on the farm road after visiting the castle you will also end up on a beach.
