Carrickfergus Castle

Marine Highway, Carrickfergus, Antrim, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 28 9335 1273
 

Carrickfergus Castle was built by John de Courcy after the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century. The walls are a metre thick with several impressive defence features: arrow slits, twin portcullises and a "murder hole" for raining boiling tar down on stranded enemies below. The centre of the castle is the Keep, in which exhibitions divulge intimate details of medieval life, such as the contents of those huge feast and dress. A room is laid out as a banqueting hall, where you can come and party as a private group. On the top floor there's an enormous chessboard and a chest of medieval clothes you can even try on while you play. A cafe and gift shop complete the tour.
