Dunluce Castle is one of Northern Ireland’s most epic castle ruins: it’s located on the coastal edge of a basalt cliff and surrounded by steep drops on either side.
- The current castle was built in the 15th century.
- It’s said that over time, parts of the castle have fallen into the sea.
- In the 1590s, the cannons from the nearby wreck of a Spanish Armada (the Girona) were installed in the gatehouses.
- The McQuillan Banshee (Maeve Roe) is said to haunt Dunluce Castle.
- The castle was once owned by Winston Churchill (ownership through marriage).
