Medieval Irish Castle specialising in sustainable tourism with professional local guides & actors in period costume interacting on guided tours.
Dalkey Castle is one of the remaining (of seven) fortified Townhouse Castles from the 14th century, in the vibrant, acclaimed, heritage town of Dalkey. Co. Dublin on part of the Dublin coastal trail dubbed "Ireland's Amalfi coast".
Together with the connected 10th Century churchyard of St. Begnet, it a Recorded National Monument & Landmark which these days functions as a top-rated, popular, family-friendly attraction and an essential destination for everyone with an interest in Ireland's people, culture, literature and Viking & Medieval History.
Located a short trip from Dublin City Centre, often visited alongside the popular Wicklow sights of Glendalough and Powerscourt, Dalkey Castle & its scenic surroundings has long established itself as one of Dublin's leading and top reviewed tourist attractions.
Its most popular tour is a Living History Experience where visitors are enthralled from start to finish as they are guided, through history, from the atmospheric 10th century churchyard, through the 14th century Medieval Castle, past the Murder Hole and up to the battlements with scenic views of Killiney Hill and the coastline, encountering Costumed Professional Actors from the Deilg Inis Theatre Company en route.
Dalkey also boasts extraordinary literary connections. From Beckett to Bono, G.B. Shaw & James Joyce to Maeve Binchy, some of Ireland’s most famous literary names share a connection to Dalkey. Dalkey Castle embraces this with an enviable Writers' Gallery, associated Guided Literary Walks and Luxury Experiences for those who would like a little more exclusivity.
Speciality events take place around Bloomsday for Joyceans and a Maeve Binchy Literary Festival in October called "Echoes".
Popular with tourists, group bookings & corporate visitors looking for a unique, sustainable travel, immersive experience.
