Malahide Castle

Beautiful place set in hundreds of acres of well looked after land. It has lovely walks and a wonderful garden and it’s easy to spend hours enjoying the setting as time seemed to fly when I am there.
There are free parkings area near to the castle and a playground for the kids to enjoy.

Went to the Castle while in Dublin on business. Amazing to experience a structure so well preserved over the years. With the US being such a young country, we lose track of how beautiful history can be.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and i was fortunate enough to view at a time with a small group. A must see and if you have time, walk into Malahide Village to see the shops and shoreline.

I went here for father’s day breakfast in Avoca and then for a walk around the gardens. The food in Avoca is always good quality and great portions sizes. The gardens are very beautiful and only € 5 entry. The gardens are full of color and very picturesque. There is a rose garden, pond, glass house and even a castle ruin. Lovely day out.

Se comparado aos castelos de filmes e seriados, Malahide tem a mesma graça que as bobagens ditas pelo M. Feliciano. Falando dessa corja, muitos políticos brasileiros vivem em casas maiores.
Voltemos ao castelo; o jardim é bonito, mas difícil de ser aproveitado no inverno

Beautiful castle an hour+ north of Dublin. However, the biggest problem is… no pictures & video because of… copyright concerns? GTFO.
If not for that, the whole castle experience would’ve been an easy 5. Quaint place, quiet, and plenty to see inside. There’s a cafeteria, et al. Outside views are stunning. I went and saw it when it was rainy. Wow did the greenery turn out. Maybe later in June or July, it’d be sunnier. But Ireland rains like Washington state, so… Definitely would visit again if I’m around Dublin again. I’m sure I will be.

Malahide Castle liegt nicht weit entfernt von Dublin und ist gut über die Straßenanbindungen gen Norden gut zu erreichen.
Nördlich von Dublin liegt das schöné Küstenstädtchen Malahide. Das Schloss Malahide Castle liegt inmitten seiner 100 Hektar großen Gärten. Seit etwa 800 Jahren war das Schloss zugleich Festung und Heim für seine Bewohner, die Familie Talbot. Die Familie Talbot lebte von 1185 bis 1973 im Schloss, bis zum Tod des letzten Lord Talbots.
Gebaut wurde Malahide Castle zunächst eher konventionell im 14 Jahrhundert, später wurde es um die runden Türme ergänzt. Dadurch entstand durchaus der Flair eines Märchenschlosses. Ausgestattet mit wunderschönen uralten Möbeln und einer großen Sammlung von irischen Gemälden (vor allem Porträts) ist das Haus durchaus einen Besuch wert. Führungen durch die Privatgemächer und die große Empfangshalle werden täglich angeboten.
Um das Schloss herum kann der Besucher durch die wunderschön angelegten Botanischen Gärten der Talbots spazieren. Angelegt wurden die Gärten von Malahide Castle in ihrer heutigen Form zwischen 1948 und 1943 durch Lord Milo Talbot.
Man kann im Schloss essen, jedoch würde ich davon Abstand nehmen, so wie wir es auch taten, da sich das ganze eher im Kantinenflair gestaltet.

La visita a Malahide es una delicia en un día soleado, el trayecto hasta el castillo es precioso, una senda que se va dividiendo transcurre por un pequeño bosque por el que muchos locales practican deporte. Después de la visita al castillo merece la pena pasar por el pueblo y recorrer la costa, lo ideal es pasar el día completo.
En cuanto al castillo, el precio para la visita del castillo es algo cara pero si te gustan este tipo de visitas no lo dudes, pasearas por diversas estancias mientras una grabación comenta cada una. Si no hablas inglés puedes pedir una guía en papel que tiene transcrito todo lo que se reproduce. Es bastante curiosa. En la planta baja del castillo puedes encontrar una amplia tienda de recuerdos y una cafetería.
Muy recomendable.

Would not recommend this. The grounds are nice but largely in playing fields. The café is overpriced and very very slow service. the tour of the castle should be nice but is 7.50 and for that I got added with 5 other people to a tour group of 33 with comments to the tour group leader that the public are joining you and is that ok. I find it offensive to be referred to as ‘the public’. 38 is too many to be able to see the rooms. The commentary is taped audio and no guide is in the room with you. As there were a large amount of non English speakers they talked over the audio. When I complained to ‘the guide’ who appeared for a minute in the doorway from time to time she said nothing really she could do. I said not good enough that is what paying for a tour means and she reluctantly came in the room and asked people to be quiet. I complained on the way out and was told all I could do was go immediately on the next tour which was not convenient. Dont go waste of money

El Castillo de Malahide está localizado en la localidad de Malahide, un poco al norte de Dublín.
El parque en el que está es chulo, muy verde, grande, y el paseo es muy agradable.
El castillo en sí está bien, nada del otro mundo. Por fuera es pequeño, coqueto y bonito. Por dentro, las estancias que se ven están muy decoradas y lo bueno es que si no entiendes inglés te prestan un libro en el idioma que desees gratuitamente.
De todas formas, el precio de 7.50 € por la visita me parece abusivo porque la visita en sí es corta y un poco desustanciada.
Lo aconsejo únicamente en el caso que estéis una semana en Dublín. Si no tenéis mucho tiempo, no vayáis.

I’ve been to Malahide Castle twice, once to go on the general tour and see the town of Malahide itself, the other to see Neil Young performing in the castle grounds. Both trips were pretty class.
The Castle itself is decked out rather well. Some restoration work was being done on the windows while I was there last summer, but all in all you get a good feeling of what life would have been like around that time. The staff are very helpful, even during the busy season and they let me take the tour again a second time for free because I had missed some information the first time round.
The town of Malahide, a short walk from the Castle, is a very quaint, pretty town. There’s one or two decent pubs and a lovely church beside the dart station. All and all, a trip to Malahide is worth it.

Fairly boring self-​guided tour. Thr room displays are primarily Victorian. Huge grounds, so be prepared for lots of walking. Really only worth a trip if its a sunny day because then you can just hang out in the grounds with nice scenery in the background.
