Be horrified at the welcome to the Dalkey Castle underneath the Murder Hole!
Don’t be frightened at the Ghost – it is a friendly Ghost!
Meet the Archer and test your strength on the Longbow.

Enjoy the contrast between 15th century Living History Actors and the interactives of 21st century technology (available in six languages). Follow the interactive time line from early Christian through Viking, Medieval, Victorian to modern times in Dalkey. Explore the area’s literary and creative connections in the Writers’ Gallery.

Afterwards you can climb to the battlements for panoramic views of sea and mountains. Enjoy the peace and tranquility of the 10th century Church and Graveyard.

Special Offers on Teas, Coffees, Scones, Picnics and Lunches available locally with Castle visit.
