Language School Tours

The highly visual and entertaining Language School Tours with Costumed Living History actors run all year. They are devised specifically to suit students learning English by their visual and immersive, interactive nature. Active participation is encouraged.

Students try their strength on the longbow. They will mint their own Viking coin. On the Battlements, they can hail the King and show the native Irish their bow fingers.

View this heritage town’s rich historical information on interactive screens in twelve languages (English, Irish, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Danish, Polish, Russian, Chinese & Japanese) in the Heritage Centre.

Coach parking is available nearby.

The Spiral Staircase

The spiral stairs were built to ascend in a clockwise direction. It is thought that this design was to give right-handed defenders an advantage in the wielding of their swords. They were built with uneven steps. In the dark, unfamiliar spaces these became a trip hazard and were referred to as Trip Steps. See the Trip Steps at Dalkey Castle, where history comes to life.
