Significant ruins in the middle of nowhere! About 3km off the N53 a few minutes outside Dundalk. There’s signage off the main road but nothing when you actually arrive. Park on the side of the country lane and look for the pedestrian gate that gives you access to the farmland you need to cross. A five minute walk across a gently hilly paddock gets you to the castle. Great outlook from the castle and plenty to explore. Free. No facilities.

Absolutely loved the whole thing -- from creaky floors, to the misshapen and uneven spiral staircase in a turret, to the secret passage to the throne room. Lots of space and easily walk-able to restaurants. Stayed there the night before Halloween and it was decorated for the holiday. Great fun!

This castle is now known as Carlingford Castle and has just reopened following extensive conservation work. I availed of one of the daily guided tours and had a choice of 11.00am or 3.00pm. The tour of the castle interior took approximately 50 mins to an hour. It was so well worth while as I got a real flavour of life in a medieval castle with Hugh De Lacy and his descendants and the history of this cute wee town called Carlingford. The tour cost E5 .00 per adult and incredibly for an extra euro a tour of the entire town is available. Well worth a visit.
