Greencastle Tour EHOD 2026

About

Step back in time and explore Greencastle, a royal stronghold built in the mid-13th century by Hugh de Lacy to control the vital southern approach into Ulster.

For over 400 years, this ռազմhistoric fortress stood at the heart of conflict—besieged, defended, repaired and fought over—before finally falling into ruin after bombardment by Cromwell’s troops in 1652

Dramatically positioned on a rocky outcrop near Greencastle Point, the castle commands striking views and offers a powerful glimpse into Ireland’s turbulent past.

Knowledgeable staff will be on site to welcome visitors and share insights into the castle’s fascinating history.
