The winding coast road is visible in the foreground, leading visitors on a journey of discovery to this historic site. Red Bay Castle, also known as the Old Castle of Red Bay, is believed to date back to the 16th century. Its strategic location on a hilltop made it an ideal fortress for defending against invaders.

Over the centuries, the castle has been the scene of numerous battles and skirmishes, leaving behind a fascinating tapestry of tales and legends.
