Half a day · castle with guided tour, botanic garden, butterfly house and a fairy trail for children; DART to the village

Malahide is a seaside village north of Dublin, about 25 minutes away on the DART, the suburban train. Ten minutes' walk from the station, in an enormous park, stands the castle where the Talbot family lived for more than eight centuries. You enter on a guided tour, through rooms with portraits and period furniture; outside there are the botanic garden, the butterfly house and a fairy trail through the woods designed for small children.
Allow at least two hours for the castle and gardens, plus a stroll around the village and the marina. It is open daily from 9:30 to 17:30. In high season, book the castle tour on its website. It is 14 minutes from the airport: if your flight leaves in the afternoon, it makes a good plan for the morning of your last day.
