Here Dunluce has one of the... most dramatic histories of any UK castle. Built around 1500, it was abandoned as early as 1639. The castle’s kitchen – and kitchen staff – had collapsed... over the cliff edge and into the sea as the 2nd Earl of Antrim’s family sat ...waiting for their dinner.
Two years later, the small town that developed around the castle was razed by the Scots and abandoned. It has now become a valuable archaeological ..site and the historic footprint of this short-lived settlement is a. haunting destination for visitors to the northern tip of Northern Ireland....
