Baltimore Castle

Highlight • Castle

Now a small fishing village and a popular place for sailing, Baltimore was once a base for pirates. From here you can take a ferry to Cape Clear, Sherkin Island and Heir Island if you want to explore further afield. The 13th century castle, Dún na Séad, keeps watch over the harbour. For 300 years it lay in ruins but has now been restored and is open to visitors. For more information visit the website baltimorecastle.ie
