Visited on a very misty day but great walk very well signed posted with yellow posts give a true feel of being on the mountains. Great views even through the rolling mist. Just a observation the day…Full review by M6155BIsusanh

Always a favourite walk of mine when I’m in Castletownbere & Beara. I love the Dunboy Loop walk with the hound. It’s beautiful Full review by 864juniep
Has anyone ever come over from England to see Dunboy Castle? I’m curious how I would do it. What the steps are to get there the fastest... where to fly into in Ireland and then once I’m at the airport, how to get down to Dunboy Castle
A:
Fly to Cork or kerry airport. Rent a car and drive. Or get bus from Cork city to castletownbere. Probably cheaper to hire a car to be honest.
How can I safely and legally see Dunboy Castle and take pictures? I’m a descendant of Chieftan Dónal O’Sullivan and thought it would be neat to see something from my heritage. Jason E.Sullivan

The ruins of the 15th century Dunboy Castle, scene of the Siege of Dunboy in 1602, are open to the public and you can walk in and around them at will. There are parking spaces adjacent and you can also take a footpath from there for a walk along the shore. Puxley Manor, which you pass on the way to the castle ruins, is an entirely separate and different site which some people confuse with Dunboy Castle. Puxley Manor dates from the 18th century, was blown up by the IRA in 1921, and was the subject of a renovation project as a hotel which foundered in 2010. The site remains semi-derelict.
