Lovely spot. Worth a visit. Car park is very small but cars come and go in a short space of time so worth waiting. You can walk right up to the ruins and there is an amazing cove at the bottom which is amazing. It's a short swim to the pools. We couldn't see the waterfall though

Time has not been kind to Dunseverick Castle. The peninsula to which the castle is attached was visited by St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, in the 5th century. The castle was later raided by Vikings. Dunseverick Castle was partially destroyed by Cromwell's troops in the 17th century; the gatehouse still remains. The castle is in County Antrim, and is lashed by the stormy Atlantic Ocean. Dunseverick Castle is close to the Giant's Causeway and the Old Bushmills Distillery. Dunseverick is certainly worth a visit, but expect a muddy trek if it has been raining.

This old ruined castle is about 5 miles from where we for stayed 2 nights and we decided to have a look earlier this afternoon.
There is an information board by the entrance to the pathway but we decided not to use the grass path to the castle as the area had heavy rain the previous night.
Well worth a stop and a photo evening though there is little left of this castle.

Dunseverick Castle can be viewed from the roadside parking areas. The views across to the castle and northern coastline are impressive. This would be a great place to take photos in the golden hour. Even in the early afternoon, the photos are still stunning.

Dunseverick Castle is in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is one of the most important historic sites in Ireland. It has been the abode of the High Kings of Ireland, and it has been visited by St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. It is well worth a look.

Dunseverick Castle is part of Ireland's ancient heritage. It's on the sea, in County Antrim (Northern Ireland), not far from the Giant's Causeway. Unfortunately, after centuries of battering by Atlantic storms, little remains of the castle. It is, however, a Scheduled Historic Monument.

We stopped at the castle ruin as we made our way along the costal route. There isn't much left, but what there is on its outcropping is impressive. The surrounding views are also great. There is a National Trust carpark on the causeway side of the ruin, and a layby/viewing area on the eastern side. Both parking options are free,

We had taken the scenic route to the Causeway, and came across the signpost for the Castle. We stopped in the layby to take some photos as it is a nice view, but did not have time to walk across. There is some history to the castle, but from a distance it appears that there is not too much remaining.

Rolling green hills, dramatic sea cliffs and sweeping ocean vistas make this site well worth a stop. When you add the whimsy of castle ruins, I can't imagine why anyone would not want to stop and breathe in the history of Dunseverick Castle!

It took some finding and the information is some what useless ! The access to the castle is gained from the gate at the other end of the wall . Having worked my way round there I had to negotiate down into the rather wet ground in the bottom before climbing out the other side . The castle is only a part wall but the views from the cliff are worth the climb .

The recent pictures are not of Dunserverick castle. They are pictures of Dunluce castle. Can you remove them and put in the proper place. It gives people the wrong picture of the place.
