Explore one of Ireland’s most iconic ruins with the Rock of Dunamase Audio Guide
Perched on a steep rocky crag above the low lying plains of Laois, The Rock of Dunamase is one of the most iconic ruined castles in Ireland. Our audio guide will help you to explore this wonderfully atmospheric site, with tales from its complex, and often bloody, history. Hear about the Viking raid on Dunamase in 844 AD, how the site became a feared stronghold of the Norman adventurer Myler FitzHenry in the late 12th century and how the site then came into the possession of William Marshal, the most illustrious knight in Medieval Europe.
You will discover the daunting prospect of the defences at Dunamase, and how it became such a strategic stronghold for the Normans in their campaign to conquer Ireland. You’ll also hear the story of how the site became the fragmented, but atmospheric, ruin that you see today. This acclaimed audio guide leads you through the different sections of the castle, allowing you to see the site in a whole new way.
