Malahide Castle
Malahide Castle
Historical landmark
1 km
One of the highlights of Malahide village in County Dublin is Malahide Castle and Demesne. It used to belong to the Estate of the Talbots de Malahide, and is located just a short walk from Malahide Village and train station. Part of the Demesne originated in the 12th century, and its grounds represent over 270 acres (1.2 km squared) of field and forest covered parkland. The oldest remaining parts of the castle date back to 1185 A.D. The original structure has been extended and developed over the centuries and has provided a home and a sanctuary for the Talbot family for over 790 years. In 1975, Rose Talbot sold the castle to the Irish State to help fund inheritance taxes. In recent years, Malahide Castle has undergone an ambitious €12 million redevelopment plan that has reasserted it as one of the top tourist destinations in the country. The Secret Gardens are a particular draw, featuring magnificent walled gardens. A new shopping and cafe centre has also been added to the current Castle Courtyard.

Malahide Beach
Malahide Beach
Recreation
Dublin City has the enormous advantage of being situated by the coast and Malahide village is one of its most charming coastal locations, within easy reach of Dublin airport and the city centre. Malahide has a 2km beach, which (following an attractive coastal walk) leads into the neighbouring Portmarnock beach. This beach is lifeguarded during the summer months and has facilities for the disabled. Malahide Beach offers a lovely vista out to Lambay Island, Howth and Ireland's Eye. Walking from the village along the beach you’ll come to the wide velvet strand along the Mouth of the Estuary, from here the beach leads to Low Rock, a popular swimming section of the beach. After this the beach gets more rocky as you approach High Rock, for a more challenging swim and eventually if you continue on you will find yourself at Portmarnock beach where the sandy strand opens wide in front of you once more.
