Slade Castle

Highlight • Castle

The ruins of a medieval castle overlook the pretty fishing houses of this small harbour. Late medieval tower house with 16th-century extensions, built by the Laffan family on the harbour of Slade. The crenellated tower, arrow slits and vaulted rooms show its defensive function, while its position above the harbour betrays the importance of fishing and trade. A photogenic, quiet stop at the tip of the Hook peninsula.
