What better way to go back in time and learn about ancient Ireland than visiting the many castles that are scattered across the country? Each fortress has a story to tell and a song to sing.

Description

To start your castle adventure, stop by Dublin Castle in the capital for guided tours that will take you to the State Apartments where presidential inaugurations have taken place. You can also visit the Chapel Royal, which is simply exotic with its fine décor.

For tourists who want to experience what it is like to stay in a real castle, why not book a suite at the Ashford Castle in County Cong too? Although this fortress dates back to 1228, the castle doesn’t disappoint with its luxurious 5-star service.

Apart from staying in castles, there’s also something for those in search of medieval fortresses that are shrouded in legend and folklore. For instance, legend has it that Blarney Castle, which is home to the infamous Blarney Stone, will give the “gift of gab” to anyone who bends over backward to kiss this ancient Scottish piece of rock.

Alternatively, you can visit the Rock of Cashel, which is the medieval castle on the hill that’s said to have been spit out by the devil.
