Southwest Ireland is home to Carrigafoyle
Castle, which is located in County Kerry and Munster Province. Although
the Castle is in ruin, you can drive there easily and enjoy the
structure as well as the views over the water.
Plan for the drive from Dublin Airport to take about three hours, with the journey winding primarily along the M7 until you hop on the N69 around Limerick and take it straight to the town of Tralee, home to Carrigafoyle Castle.
Here are some fun facts about this amazing Irish landmark. Hopefully they will entice you to pay a visit in person!
But if that is not possible, you can always use them to impress your friends with your knowledge of one of the most-visited attractions in Ireland.
It is probably obvious - at Irish Expressions, we love Irish castles! The Emerald Isle is dotted with hundreds of these incredible structures.
Sharing pictures and stories about them gives us a deeper sense of connection with Ireland, wherever in the world we happen to be!
We have captured the most amazing pictures and descriptions of Irish castles in an e-book we call "An Illustrated Guide to Irish Castles and Abbeys."
This fun, free guide is available to you to download. Scroll to the bottom of this page to get instant access!
