Dunluce Castle. The Most Iconic Castle in the World. Northern Ireland 4K. HDR. UHD. Aerial Footage.

Dunluce Castle is one of the most iconic monuments in Northern Ireland. The historic Dunluce Castle is on the coast of County Antrim and perched on top of a high cliff, so the building has to be approached by a bridge. The original castle on that site dated back to 1300, but the building known as Dunluce Castle was erected in the 1500’s by the McQuillan clan. The castle itself, now a ruin, is still owned by the MacDonnell family who currently live in Glenarm. It is now a monument in the care of the Environment Agency of Northern Ireland. Below the castle, there is a huge cavern, which is known as the Mermaid’s Cave. Excavations in recent years have revealed that there was once a town under the auspices of the castle. The housing in the town was said to be well ahead of its time, with indoor toilets! The MacDonnells brought people over from Scotland to help in the building of the town, which also had dungeons and a courthouse. The castle itself also holds the remains of a medieval hall. This small town was built in 1609 but was wiped out in 1691 during the Irish uprisings.
