Portrush is a small seaside resort in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. At the edge of a cliff in Portrush, Dunluce Castle are the ruins of what was once a magnificent medieval castle.  This remote castle can be accessed by bridge and has steep drops all around it.  Legend says that the steep cliffs once claimed part of the 13th Century castle’s kitchen, it was said it fell into the sea and the wife of the owner refused to live in the castle anymore.  This is unfounded though and it is believed that only in the 18th Century the North wall of the building collapsed into the sea. The other walls still stand.
