Dunluce Castle

This is Dunluce Castle on the north coast of Northern Ireland not far west of Giant's Causeway. We were on a tour of the coast with a visitor but only stopped to take some photos from the car park. We had seen the ruins many times and did not want to pay the fee, s new thing since we lived in Northern Ireland.
The castle was built in the 13th century by Richard de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster. It was captured in the mid-1500's by Sorley Boy McDonnell and was abandoned in 1639 after a portion of the castle with several of its inhabitants fell into the sea.

Sehr schön präsentierst Du uns das Dunloce Castle, Ron.
Als wir vor drei Jahrzehnten da waren gab es den schmiedeeisernen Zaun noch nicht.
Aber die Brücke oder das Tor waren versperrt.
Schöne Grüße

Sorley Boy McDonnell probably didn't do himself any favors by capturing this castle. ;)

The castle ruins, however, are very photogenic!
