Ardgillan Castle
Castillo Ardgillan
Ardgillan Castle (Balbriggan, County Dublin) — located between Balbriggan and Skerries on an elevated coastline (31 km. north of downtown Dublin, via Route M1), this castle enjoys magnificent views, which makes it unique among the Regional Parks of Dublin. This park’s size is 194 acres, consisting of gardens, mixed woodland and pastureland — which overlook the bay of Drogheda. The meaning of Ardgillan in English is “high-wooded area”—no doubt, the castle is a sanctuary for various species of birds and mammals. Ardgillan Castle consists of two stories along with a basement extending under the south lawns.
Castle tours start at 11.30 am and are on demand. Costs: €6.50 per adult, €5.00 per person for students, groups and seniors, and €13.00 for a family of two adults and two children (under twelve).
