Malahide Castle and Gardens
Review
This attraction really does come as a surprise. Dating back as far as King Johns Castle in Limerick, Malahide Castle made me feel that it's late owner Lord Mylo Talbot had just merely stepped out for while. This castle is a truly great example of historic architecture and it's gardens and parkland span a vast 250 acres. There is so much to do and see here that I would certainly advise a half day should be reserved for your visit if not a full day if your also planning on having lunch here. Having visited a number of castles in and around Ireland I would have too say that Malahide Castle is right up there as one of its best. I found the staff too be very friendly and they are always on hand to guide you round and point you in the right direction should you find yourself a bit disorientated.
