The most beautiful gem set high on a cliff top overlooking the wild Atlantic ocean. It's 5 pounds in and well worth every penny. There's a small museum and this really isn't necessary as the stunning scenery speaks for itself. I would highly recommend a visit here. Take yourself back in history and soak up the beauty of the north of Ireland.
