Dunluce Castle Dunluce Castle is one of the most iconic settings in Northern Ireland, situated precariously on the craggy and treacherous Antrim coast.

It is believed that Dunluce castle was built (or possibly rebuilt) in Anglo Norman times although there is little doubt that it was occupied before this time. The castle is, in fact, quite a large something that is not so apparent from outside views. You can walk down a long series of steps, past the wishing well and the mermaid's cave, to the stone arch with views to the Skerries and Inishowen, Donegal.

Close to Dunluce Castle are the ancient church ruins of St Cuthbert's church which has some interesting headstones telling the story of the area from the 1630s. There are stories that some of those who perished in the Spanish Armada ship, the Girona, are buried here.
