Malahide
Another place you can visit is Malahide which is located in north County Dublin. The jewel in Malahide’s crown is its spectacular Malahide Castle; one of Ireland’s oldest castles. Tours regularly run inside, revealing what life was like for the Talbot family who lived there for almost 800 years. There are four main rooms open to the public, including the lavish Great Hall. An interactive exhibition on the ground floor retells not only the Talbots’ story, but the many ghostly figures that haunt the castle to this day!
You can arrive at Malahide taking the Dart from the city-centre to Malahide DART Station, or take the 42 bus from Talbot Street.
