Malahide Castle is the imposing centrepiece, set
in 250 acres of parkland in the pretty seaside
town of Malahide. It was both a fortress and
the private home of generations of the Talbot
family which lived here from way back in
1185 to 1973, when the last Lord Talbot died.
There is beautiful period furniture and some
of the rooms are restored to their past glory.
But children will be more engaged by the
two attractions attached to the castle’s
grounds.

one-twelfth scale, it replicates all the
elegance and grandeur of three great 18th
century Irish mansions. It includes minia-
ture masterpieces of furniture and
