*Irelands oldest Hostel & it's a 15th Century Castle*
Foulksrath Castle is based eight kilometers from the medieval city. This lovely 16th century Norman Tower House, the hostel has many medieval features, including a magnificent dining room with enormous fireplaces & a spiral staircase to upper floors.
Ghost Hunters have in the past visited the hostel and reported the best ghostly sounds of any place they visited in Ireland. Stories say the daughter of the original owner was killed, resulting in the belief that the castle may be haunted.
It is the ideal place to stay for a few days while you explore the many places of interest including heritage sites dating from the Iron Age through to the present.
