Description
Ballinalacken Castle has commanding vistas of Ireland's West County Clare countryside, with views out to the Aran Islands and Galway Bay from its perch between Doolin and Lisdoonvarna.
The builders clearly had defense in mind -- the fortress is mounted on a rocky limestone hillside/cliff with a very sharp drop. Some records indicate the castle could date back to the 10th Century as a stronghold of the O'Connor Clan, and subsequently was taken over and rebuilt by the O'Briens in the 14th Century.
