Located just north of Dublin, the majestic Malahide Castle dates back to the 12th century, when Richard Talbot was given the 'lands and harbour of Malahide' by King Henry II.
The total area of the castle estate, which stands at a staggering 260 acres, today serves as a tourist attraction operated by Dublin Tourism. Some parts of the castle dates back to it's construction in the 12th century, while others, like the towers, were added as recently as the late 18th century. You can take a guided tour of the castle, or visit the botanical garden behind the castle. The vast parkland has been used for concerts of famous artists, such as Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, Eric Clapton and Prince. At the same time, a golf course, tennis courts, a cricket ground are also used often.
