I love Dunluce. Very spooky and beautiful. Further on down the coast, closer to Belfast, is Carrickfergus Castle. Not so cool and spooky, but you can wander around, and if you have kids with you, they (and you) can dress up in costumes provided at the castle.

Kiniity Castle in Offaly and Ballinahinch Castle in Galway
