Dunguaire Castle

The castles in Ireland are full of history and a wonderful way to experience what life was like long ago. If you’re staying at Lady Gregory Hotel, Leisure Club & Beauty Rooms, a visit to the nearby Dunguaire Castle is highly recommended.

Dunguaire Castle is located just 20 minutes drive from Lady Gregory Hotel in a picturesque spot on the shores of Galway Bay near Kinvara in County Galway. The castle features a striking 75-foot tower and defensive walls set against a stunning backdrop, making it the most photographed castle in Ireland.

The castle is not open for interior tours, but visitors are welcome to explore the grounds and admire its commanding presence from the outside. Its location on the edge of the water makes it a favourite spot for photographers, particularly at sunset when the castle reflects beautifully on the bay.

From April to October each year, the castle comes alive with medieval banquets, where guests can enjoy a delicious four-course meal and fine wines while being entertained with songs, stories, and poems.
