Lovely spot. Worth a visit. Car park is very small but cars come and go in a short space of time so worth waiting. You can walk right up to the ruins and there is an amazing cove at the bottom which is amazing. It's a short swim to the pools. We couldn't see the waterfall though

We parked at the Castle & walked to the waterfalls along the coastal route.

Not much remains of the Castle, just a couple of walls.

The falls are not a vertical fall, just a meandering stepped flow.

You can also drive to the waterfalls & park at the small carpark opposite the lane down to the harbour.

Time has not been kind to Dunseverick Castle. The peninsula to which the castle is attached was visited by St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, in the 5th century. The castle was later raided by Vikings. Dunseverick Castle was partially destroyed by Cromwell's troops in the 17th century; the gatehouse still remains. The castle is in County Antrim, and is lashed by the stormy Atlantic Ocean. Dunseverick Castle is close to the Giant's Causeway and the Old Bushmills Distillery. Dunseverick is certainly worth a visit, but expect a muddy trek if it has been raining.

This may not look like much from the road, but this is a site of exceptional historical significance as the seat of ancient Irish kings, many of whom were crowned here. St Patrick himself visited here in the 5th century, and it has seen many a skirmish from invading Norsemen and others over the years. I have been captivated by this place since childhood as my family owned the land that the castle stands on until gifting it to the National trust in the early 1970s. It is a little bit of a hike up to the top but well worth it. A Chinese reality show about super models chose this as one of the sites to film and so it has literally been seen across the globe.
People do visit here from all over the world and I hope they continue to do so. There is a little bit of something special about this place.....perhaps a little bit of Irish magic. Please come and experience it for yourself.

Dunseverick Castle is in Northern Ireland, County Antrim. It is a picturesque ruin that looks like something out of Game of Thrones, which was filmed in Northern Ireland. However, our hostess said that Dunseverick Castle did not feature in that long-running epic. If you are nearby, it's certainly worth a look

Dunseverick Castle can be viewed from the roadside parking areas. The views across to the castle and northern coastline are impressive. This would be a great place to take photos in the golden hour. Even in the early afternoon, the photos are still stunning.

This old ruined castle is about 5 miles from where we for stayed 2 nights and we decided to have a look earlier this afternoon.
There is an information board by the entrance to the pathway but we decided not to use the grass path to the castle as the area had heavy rain the previous night.
Well worth a stop and a photo evening though there is little left of this castle.
Visited 3rd August 2021.

Dunseverick Castle is part of Ireland's ancient heritage. It's on the sea, in County Antrim (Northern Ireland), not far from the Giant's Causeway. Unfortunately, after centuries of battering by Atlantic storms, little remains of the castle. It is, however, a Scheduled Historic Monument.

We stopped at the castle ruin as we made our way along the costal route. There isn't much left, but what there is on its outcropping is impressive. The surrounding views are also great. There is a National Trust carpark on the causeway side of the ruin, and a layby/viewing area on the eastern side. Both parking options are free,

Dunseverick Castle is in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is one of the most important historic sites in Ireland. It has been the abode of the High Kings of Ireland, and it has been visited by St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. It is well worth a look.
