The Castle Tour

Enjoy the wonderful history and spectacular views of Cork as you walk through time and history. The castle takes you through 400 years of history; From the original fort, built to deter pirates in Cork harbour, through to the modern telescope dome installed on the tower top.

A highlight of your tour is the view available from atop the towers of the castle. Overlooking the river Lee and the Blackrock area you won’t want to miss it.

* Please note that due to the nature of the medieval building, the rooftop and the fort are regrettably not wheelchair accessible.
