Dunluce Castle

Near Bushmills, County Antrim

A clifftop castle whose kitchen, legend says, fell into the sea.

Dunluce perches on the very edge of a sea cliff. Legend says that one stormy night in 1639 the kitchen collapsed into the sea, taking the cooks with it, though historians doubt the tale.
