Route Description for Dundrum Castle Walk
If you enjoy short and sweet walking adventures that feature some interesting historical sites, then you will want to take some time to explore the trails of the Dundrum Castle Walk. This quick loop will expose you to the ruins of Dundrum Castle, which was built by John de Courcy at the beginning of the 13th Century during his invasion of Ulster and sits atop a rocky hill overlooking the village.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the northeast along the footpath, before quickly entering into the cover of the forest. From here, the trail will turn to the northwest and lead you through the woodland terrain, where you will soon exit near the ruins of Dundrum Castle. Take some time to appreciate the views of the historic stone castle, before arriving back at the trailhead where you began.
