Dunluce CastleThe ruins of Dunluce Castle are situated on a cliff top between Portrush and the Giant's Causeway - 3 miles from Acorn Lodge. The castle dates from the 13th century. The most famous incident in its history occurred in 1639 when the kitchens fell into the sea during a storm.
It is otherwise well preserved, and you can wander round the roofless 'rooms' and look out to sea, or admire it from a distance, silhouetted against the horizon.
It is a popular subject for local and not-so-local artists.
