From Cahersiveen, signs direct visitors to the road leading to the castle and forts… this large castle’s hard to miss. It’s also a fun one climb around. Staircases, rooms and passages still remain, giving this castle a very high rating on the snoop around factor. The place is in ruin and private property, so one must explore at their own risk…and the steep drops and risk of collapse make this place rather dangerous.
