Funtasia Waterpark

Visit a vast burial mound that was built around 3200 B.C., and has an internal chamber that’s illuminated by the winter solstice.

Just half an hour outside of Dublin and set in the midst of a 1,500 acre estate in the Boyne Valley is the beautiful Slane Castle. The castle has been the home of the Conyngham family since the 18th Century, with the major castle reconstruction work taking place in 1785 carried out by James Gandon and James Wyatt.

There are around 50 British-built Martello Towers around the Irish coastline. The majority lie to the east, from Millmount to Bray, around Dublin Bay and also around Cork Harbour on the south coast.
