Dunluce Castle

Just a few minutes drive from Giant's Causeway brought us to Dunluce Castle, perched on a craggy cliff overlooking the sea.  We walked over a bridge from the mainland and explored the ruins of the castle built in the 13th century.  We could see hexagonal stones in the walls - sourced from Giant's Causeway.  It was purportedly deserted in 1639 when a portion of the kitchen fell into the sea and the castle's mistress insisted on leaving!  I would have stayed... the views are spectacular.
