点评:Though it's described as a castle it's more like a fortified tower house as it lacks a moat, outer walls, a bailey or accommodation for soldiers or horses .
Nevertheless well worth a visit,as it is the last remaining one in a street that had a number of them.
The heritage centre has displays showing the development of Dalkey and it's links to various Irish writers. There is an ancient ruined church next to it.
Best of all is the living history, with three characters, which takes you back hundreds of years. The characters interact with you if you are willing to engage. The party I was with had 3 Swiss french ladies so the characters were happy to switch to french to explain things to them
We missed the tour we'd booked as there was a delay getting off the cruise ship but they let us come back for the afternoon tour at no extra cost.
Dalkey is a prosperous village and we had a nice lunch in a local pub.
翻译:虽然它被描述为一座城堡,但它更像是一座防御塔楼,因为它没有护城河、外墙、城堡外墙,也没有士兵或马匹的住所。
尽管如此,它仍然值得一游,因为它是这条街上仅存的一座城堡,而这条街上曾有不少城堡。
遗产中心的展览展示了达尔基的发展历程及其与多位爱尔兰作家的联系。旁边有一座古老的教堂遗址。
最棒的是它生动的历史,由三位角色扮演,带你回到几百年前。如果你愿意参与,这些角色会与你互动。我同行的团队中有三位瑞士裔法国女士,所以角色们很乐意用法语向她们解释事情。
由于下船延误,我们错过了预订的行程,但他们让我们免费返回参加下午的行程。
达尔基是一个繁荣的村庄,我们在当地一家酒吧享用了美味的午餐。
