Donegal Castle, Donegal Town

We enjoyed our time here. It is worth a visit once. The entree fee is 5 EUR. You can spend as much time as you wish here. The place is not crowded at all. There is a hidden cell you can reach there if you use the concrete stairs. The employees are very friendly and I recommend this place.

A nicely restored small castle Originally a castle of the O’Donnell family, this small, but well-fortified castle, was taken over by an English lord after the Flight of the Earls and was transformed into a more stately home. The castle itself has been restored and for a small fee you can enter and do a nice self-guided tour. It’s not the biggest castle in Ireland, but it is a pleasant place and worth a visit.

Me, my hubby and two children (aged 8 & 10) visited today (17th Aug) and it was just beautiful. The walkway is rocky and uneven so be mindful of this. So many artifacts and stunning pieces. Stairs are quite steep. I love history so it's been one of my favourite spots. Don't visit without stopping off. Entrance fees are: adults €5 Senior €4 Student £3 Family €13 Kids go free.

Donegal Castle is interesting, it's very well preserved. The walls surrounding the castle are also intact. The interior only has a few rooms that are accessible, but each have lots of information and artifacts to view. The guide we had was on his first ever tour, but did a great job and was very knowledgeable.

Truly magnificent and beautifully maintained gardens, Simply stunning. Excellent bus service from car park to the gardens and Castle . Will definitely return next year
