Greenan Castle
Strikingly located 16th century tower house beside the beach which looks over the coastline. Owned by the Kennedy family. Now ruined but worth visiting along with Greenan Beach.
Opening Times
The castle is a precarious ruin overlooking the coast. Some care should be taken as the walls are now insecure.
