    Exterior of castle
    Christina M.

    As I drove up the winding driveway, I was completely amazed at how lush and green the grounds were. Not to mention how many acres the castle was sitting on. Everything was so beautiful and historical that I was just blown away. This could because I love all things GRAND and this was just that. To think it belonged to one family whom we were told sold it?!?! however it was completely breathtaking. The church and graveyards was a bit surreal bc the graves are kind of coming up from the grounds but none the less a definite sight to see. If you take a train here there is a trail that will lead you from the train to castle, vice versa. We wasted money on a taxi but had we known about the trail we would've just walked. Also call before you go to make sure they are touring as times change per season. Definite must see if near the area!!

    I ended up missing my train stop and decided to go to Malahide Castle. It was a fantastic visit and worth it for the historical castle and grounds, but the view of the property and the trees were fantastic. Well staffed with a great history going back 800 years. Beautiful stone and woodwork, and a great store with lots of local foods to have. I left with a loaf of gluten free sofa bread and some local cheese and I was happy to munch and to walk around the property. Like all castles, this one has a quaint story about the ghost of a young romantic spurned by his love who hung himself. Ireland is such a fun place and this castle and the estate were well worthy the wrong turn.

    Beautiful castle an hour+ north of Dublin. However, the biggest problem is... no pictures & video because of... copyright concerns? GTFO. If not for that, the whole castle experience would've been an easy 5. Quaint place, quiet, and plenty to see inside. There's a cafeteria, et al. Outside views are stunning. I went and saw it when it was rainy. Wow did the greenery turn out. Maybe later in June or July, it'd be sunnier. But Ireland rains like Washington state, so... Definitely would visit again if I'm around Dublin again. I'm sure I will be.

    Beautiful gardens and park area around the castle. Great for a brisk walk. The castle is beautiful and well kept. There is close parking. I would recommend visiting.

    I have been addicted to castles and old things antique for a really long time. So when I decided to leave the USA and Experience Dublin, Ireland seeing a castle was on my list of things that I had to experience. This was a short day bus tour to this castle and it also has a botanical garden with butterflies and massive amounts of open land to take beautiful pictures of. We came on a Sunday so it wasn't very busy which was also nice. It was absolutely beautiful the tour inside the castle was about 40 minutes and worth it. I would definitely suggest this tour and this castle.

    Went to the Castle while in Dublin on business. Amazing to experience a structure so well preserved over the years. With the US being such a young country, we lose track of how beautiful history can be. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and i was fortunate enough to view at a time with a small group. A must see and if you have time, walk into Malahide Village to see the shops and shoreline.

    Bray Head and its views are breath-taking. It's so peaceful and calming…read more The coastal views are nothing short of stunning. We decided to do the cliff walk from the promenade up to the head. At the very top is the infamous cross. The last time we were there much of the cliff walk was closed due to mudslides. We decide to soldier on and made it almost to the top. We were ill-prepared for the mud and walk rounds. While we were wearing good walking shoes, we should have been wearing hiking boots. The experience of the climb is one that you won't forget. When all open and no mudslides it's not a very difficult walk at all. Depending on how far you want to go, the walk can last 1-3 hours. A shorter walk around the summit is just about an hour. The loop to Greystones is longer but absolutely worth it.

    Good little hike, even if not especially demanding or challenging. Also an ideal way to spend half…read morea day outdoors away from Dublin using only the train and/or bus. We went up from the Bray side - basically, walk the sea promenade, start going up and then keep to the right - and diverged from the main route midway to merge with the Cliff Walk heading to Greystones. The marked path is a loop walk but we wanted to avoid going back towards Bray. I don't think you need to be specially fit to get to the top, there are a couple of short but steep inclines, but I believe most people can do it if they take their time - or stop for a lot of photos. You'll see plenty of families climbing it :) I just wouldn't recommend it on or right after a very rainy day, as parts of the track can get muddy and slippery. The views along the way are very rewarding, and it's good exercise too. The loop walk alone should take you 1.5/2 hours if you are relatively fit and make few stops. You can spend a good 2.5 hours if you continue your hike towards Greystones. And as if the green landscape descending into the sea wasn't enough to sell this hike, there's also some nice places both in Greystones and Bray where you can rest up and treat your tired self to some nice food and drink - for the ultimate feel-good experience, I'd recommend the Happy Pear :)
