Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    An outstanding structure. So much history to learn about. I was doubtful I could manage the walk to the site, so I asked the attendant how far it was. He offered to open the gate and allow us to drive to the location. You must be careful as people are walking along the same road/path. Only parking for maybe 2 cars. Please do not miss this bit of history just because you may think it is beyond your physical abilities as all you have to do is ask the staff. Now you may have to wait a bit if it is busy.

    This place will never leave me. An easy, charming walk to the top, and when I crested the hilltop, I just teared up with joy. The oqnwea

    Visited this beach while on the Slea Head Drive with family. It was a wild and windy day and the crashing waves combined with the sun were stunning. Beautiful views!

    So much history as you circle the peninsula, with this stop being one of my favorites. Again, great stonework in an ancient graveyard, with spectacular vistas over the countryside. Fortunately, you are able to walk inside, though it seems it could crumble at any moment. Don’t miss this stop.

    Fantastic views and a truly magical
    place. I highly recommend checking it out. The drive around is long but worth it especially on a nice day.

    We stopped to view the ruins here. You park in a small lot across the road, walk to the entrance and pay the a few euros per person to enter, walk up a hill( about 2-4 minutes) and then you are there. It is not large and spending 20-30 minutes is about right. Very interesting. The views are also nice from the hill

    Minard Castle is a bit out of the way and yes, you have to drive down a very narrow road (that would be quite challenging with lots of traffic)...but this place is great, and having something all to yourself is magical! I only met a couple cars on the drive down and back to the main road. It's a very cool place though, my only regret is the time of day I was there...it was around 2pm and the lighting was very harsh to get good photos. I bet it would be great in the morning (including sunrise) and maybe late afternoon/sunset. Worth a visit if you're trying to get off the beaten path!

    A lovely little cove where the creek joins into the Atlantic. If you're arriving in a car it's best to stop by at the small ravine first and then plough on all the way onto the pier, there is enough space to make a U-turn there. The rock crevice at the very end of the pier is supposed to make a booming sound, amplifying the waves, but when we were there I haven't noted anything of that sort. All in all, nice to swing by!

    This was the scene of a massacre of Spanish soldiers and Irish rebels. Today, there is not much there but the remains of the fort and some nice views. The road down there is very narrow.

    Excellent music. Good craic. We had seen the owner perform at the St. James Church concert series and came over afterward. If you want to see traditional Irish music and incredible musicians, this is the place to go. It is cash only so make sure to bring some with you.
