Lovely for a quick stop. If you park by the port, it's a super-quick walk to the ruins. The views are very nice especially in spring and summer when the wildflowers are blooming. Full review by meganrW3464UC

Q:
How can I take a public bus or train to this castle from ( Black) from Tinnycross House B and B in Count Wicklow? thanks!
A:
Is Tinnycross in Co Kildare? If so you will have to get a bus to Dublin city centre and get the 133 Expressway bus to Wicklow. The 133 will get you from Dublin in about an hour and 30mins

I see that Tinnycross House is on the other side of Wicklow to the Black Castle. Unfortunately, there is no direct public transport across. If you hire a car, you can take a wonderful drive over the Wicklow Gap, visit Glendalough monastic settlement and continue on to the coast up to the Bkack Castle, just at Wicklow Town. Wicklow is a truly stunning county, with so much to do. You will definitely visit Blessington Lakes from where you are staying. You could perhaps find a Wicklow Tours bus that can take you to many of the best parts to visit.i know several private companies run them now; for example: Wild Wicklow Tours! The train to Wicklow Town runs in the other side from where you are staying..so from Dubkin down. I hope this helps! A bit confusing I know but your hosts should also be able to advise. Have a great stay in Wicklow; I know you will.
