Hiking
Some may know the action film "Blast Command Atlantic", where Dunguaire Castle served as a film set.
From the car park it is only a 3-minute walk to Dunguaire Castle, which is called Caislean Dún Guaire in Irish.
A large signpost on the side of the road ensures that you cannot miss your destination and you can also see this sight from a distance.

The understated landscape is dominated by the sober silhouette of Dunguaire Castle, a tall, four-story tower, built in 1520 by a descendant of the kings of Connaught. This castle served as a backdrop for the film *The Sea Wolves* (starring Roger Moore and Anthony Perkins, 1979) and has retained its cinematic appeal. Since 2023, the castle interior has been closed to the public, and no reopening date has been announced, but you can still wander around the grounds and experience the special and magical atmosphere of the place.
