Staff were really friendly. Fascinating history behind it and the castle has been well restored. Amazing views from the top on a clear day of the surrounding beauty. Would well recommend a tour to Dysart Castle and I will definitely be back.

A must visit location is ideal being not too far from Ennis. I throughly enjoyed learning about the history of the castle. The scenery is also fantastic.

A beautiful historical spot hidden away! I brought my family to this hidden gem and was surprised with how much history lay behind it. The castle itself was brilliant with a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape from the top and many artefacts to see. The nature walk to the other landmarks was peaceful and easy to navigate. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Castle was a great and interesting day out. The staff and the locals were extremely pleasant and helpful and had an in-depth knowledge of the castles history. Would definitely recommend on a nice day as the views around it are amazing, but it is worth the visit no matter the weather.

Dysart O Dea castle was a joy to visit. The history of the place is fascinating and the view from the top is outstanding. The staff were absolutely fantastic and very informative. I would highly recommend this hidden gem to any tourists who wish to explore County Clare. I will definitely be returning again!

The photo shown above is not in Dysert ODea. The castle is six storeys high and totally restored in an authentic 15th century manner. It is a typical Gaelic Farmhouse from that period and a pleasure to visit. Each room contains a seperate theme and there is an excellent audio visual display of the original 25 archaeological monuments surrounding the tower house. Its only 5 euros to visit and the staff are so informed and pleasant. It was restored by the well known archaeologist Risteard UaCroinin in 1986 for the ODay family of Wisconsin and run by the local community.
A hidden treasure on the edge of the Burren. Not to be missed !!

It is a small castle and although easy to find, it is down a very narrow road with grass up the middle! We were given a leaflet showing us where we could find other places of interest related to the castle. The lady at the ticket office gave us good directions too. We enjoyed the visit as although there wasn't much information (and some was hard to read), it gave us a sense of what it would have been like to live there. The stairs wind around to the top and the views from the roof are magnificent.

Price: €7 - seemed a lot for my relatively brief visit. It's probably ok if there is a guide and you look around everything. Since this is a walk of several kilometres, it will take some time.
Why it's two stars: The quality of the exhibitions. Some rooms contained cases of artefacts with minimal labelling or exposition. Fortunately this can be remedied in these days of 3G and Wikipedia. Worse, several rooms contained exhibitions made almost entirely of rotting laminated texts and photographs, given the effect of reading an old local history book from the walls.
What I didn't see: The outlying monuments - I was out of time.
Who might enjoy this anyway? Brave parents (there are a lot of stairs) and want to see a castle, those who have never seen a castle before, or if you descend from a sept of the O'Dea clan.
Quirky - Impressive shoehorning of toilets into an early modern building.

We found the Dysert O'Dea Castle simply by driving by and following the signs; it was a complete impulse visit, and we're glad we did it.
The road can get interesting to get to the castle, but it's well worth driving along what is almost a two-track in some areas. This castle is part of a larger area that is only accessible by hiking, but we focused on the castle, with a car park.
There is an admission fee to tour the castle, but we're glad we did. We were able to climb to the top (and actually out to the roof). On every floor, there as another display, either about the O'Dea family, or the history of the area, or about the castle itself. We found ourselves spending more time here than we would've thought; the castle and surrounding areas are beautiful, and well worth your time.

Here is a beautifully restored 15th Century Irish Castle which has been meticulously restored by a member of the O'Dea family from America, whose ancestors, I understand, originally built the castle. Steeped in history the castle is now home to local archaeological artefacts which are on display. While the castle was closed when we visited (February0 I understand that it is open to the public during the year.
