To find Kilbrittain Castle, you'll head as far south as you can in Central Ireland. There, in County Cork of
Munster Province, you can spot the ancient castle.
Expect at least three hours behind the wheel if you're coming from Dublin Airport by car. The journey winds along major roads like the M7 and the M8 until you get to Cork and need to exit on N40. Then, hop on N71 and enjoy the small-town scenery surrounding you until you arrive at Kilbrittain 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.
