The journey to this castle is absolutely beautiful and the coastline is stunning. During this trip to this area, I have visited a few of these types of tower houses. There is an information panel, which details this was built in the late 1400s but destroyed by a storm in the late 1800s. If you are in the area, worth stopping by to have a look but also combine with other similar sites in the area. Free to visit and parking available.

Great little spot for a nosey around an interesting ruin, parking at the front available but limited and right beside a coffee spot. Picnic area about a 10 minutes walk away with amenities too.

Lovely little castle ruin. Takes a minute to walk around and is very near the edge of the Lough.
