    What an incredible place. We are lost for words as there are no words good enough to describe how much we loved it. Yes it's a long way down and a big haul up those steps however it's so well worth it. This is an absolute must for anyone visiting this historical place. Love love love.

    A really pretty castle in some amazing scenery. It is well worth making the walk from the car park to at least part way down the stairs towards the castle to get a good view of it. The stairs are slippery and muddy so do take care.

    5/5, 10/10, 100/100!!! I could not recommend giving this place a stop more!!! Some of the most beautiful scenery in Ireland! There is a nice path leading down to the bottom of the cliff where the castle is. There are sheep at the bottom as well which are fun to see! You can stay on the bottom along the beach or you can continue up the path to the edge of the cliff where it overlooks the ocean! I was lucky enough to see a seal while I was out there!

    Well worth the large amount of steps down and back up. Go at sunset for beautiful views. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes or walking boots as it's slippy and muddy In places. Cute little waterfalls too.

    Words can't describe how beautiful this place is. Parking is just next to pathaway straight to this place. Just be prepared for a bit of cardio (15-20minutes of walking downstairs and then upstairs back). Amazing shores and stunning panoramatic views. There's no entrance fee. Worth it for sure!

    Worth every step. My mom and I visited Kinbane castle in early October and literally had the place to ourselves (yay shoulder season!).The views of the cliffs on the way down were spectacular, and the same can be said for when you reach the bottom as well. Loved getting to explore everything so closely, and the walk down to the waterfall was pretty. Please note, the road to get here is single lane, so be prepared to watch for opposing traffic and to move over if necessary (not a busy road though). The parking lot had plenty of space for what we think is a less visited Irish castle sight. Highly recommend a visit.

    We spontaneously stopped at Kinbane Head on our way and it turned out to be the most scenic place so far! The parking spot has toilets and you can visit the place for free. A 10 minute walk leads to the castle and the cliff head with a beautiful view. Be careful during bad weather though as the ground might get slippery.

    Incredible place to visit. A lot of walking and steps but well worth it. We had a beautiful time exploring the Castle ruins and area.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ So much history here and I was amazed to find the service mens graves from the two great wars here. Neither am I ashamed to say when I read their headstones it brings a tear, young men who have their all for my/our freedom. What a sacrifice. It moves me also when I see the headstone and it says, β€˜an...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Such a beautiful place to have a walk. It was muddy underfoot in places, but you'd expect that after rain and being so close to water. There are many places where there are wooden bridges as the ground is a bit soggy. There's a stream running through the stunning green forest with a small picturesqu...
