Enquire

Dunluce was probably used as a fort during Early Christian times and a souterrain from this period survives beneath the present ruins.

The early Christians and the Vikings were drawn to this romantic place and an early Irish fort once stood here.

The battling MacDonnells ruled all this north-eastern corner of Ulster in the, late 16th century. The ancient rocks stick out as brightly coloured cliffs along the edge of the plateau. There are red sandstones, white chalk, black basalt and blue clavs.
