My 7 year old son was not happy that we dragged him away from the beach to visit a "boring castle". His attitude soon changed when he saw the imposing castle perched above the village of Gorey.

The only downside is that it is quite a lot of steep rises and steps to navigate, but not too much of a problem for most people. If you have the chance, check out before you go as to which days have the falconry events... more
