Malahide Castle, near Rowlestown
For a furnished castle visit with gardens and room for a longer family day.
The story behind Malahide Castle and Gardens
The Talbot family’s long association with Malahide began in the twelfth century. Successive alterations transformed the original defended residence into the house seen today. The Oak Room and Great Hall tell more about that accumulated domestic history than the exterior alone.
What you will see
Choose a guided castle visit for the rooms and collections, then decide how much time to give the gardens and other estate attractions. The existing MyMap record covers the demesne, so the map pin identifies the estate rather than a surveyed entrance.

Where this comes from
- From the map
- The name, the kind of place, the address where the record carries one, and any website, phone or opening hours shown as recorded on the map are tags on OpenStreetMap way/20876550, and can be corrected there.
- Worked out here
- Every distance, the nearest road where the record has no address, which car park and which stop are nearest, and the order of the lists are this site’s own calculations from those records. Distances are straight lines between two points, not walks along the footpaths, and the map will route the real walk on request. A mistake in any of this is a mistake here rather than on the map.
