    • Historical

      It was built as the manorial residence of the 1st Archbishop of Dublin, John Comyn, around 1200 or a little later, and was never strong in the military sense, but covers a large pentagonal walled area of nearly 1.5 acres (6,000 m²) with a tower on the north, probably the Constable's residence, and an impressive gateway complex on the south. The warder may have occupied the quarters to the left of the gate, while to the right was the janitor's room with the priest's room overhead. The adjoining chapel, built in the late thirteenth century, was probably used as the Archbishop's private oratory. Other buildings, recorded in an inquisition in 1326, have now vanished, including the great hall on the east side of the enclosure. The Archbishop abandoned Swords once a new palace was built at Tallaght in 1324 - a move no doubt encouraged by damage sustained during Bruce's campaign of 1317. The stepped battlements suggest some form of occupancy during the fifteenth century, but by 1583, when briefly occupied by Dutch Protestants, it was described as "the quite spoiled old castle". It was used as a garden in the nineteenth century and sold after the Church of Ireland was disestablished. Swords Castle is undergoing a significant redevelopment and is intended to become a major tourist attraction. The newly renovated castle was used as a film location for the production of TV series The Tudors in spring 2010. Due to the ongoing restoration work, the interior of the castle is only open for groups by appointment only by calling the number above.

      * The round tower is the surviving remnant of St. Colmcille’s monastic settlement. The only remaining relic of the medieval church is its belfry, from c. 1300, which on fine days in summertime gives a view of four counties from the tower’s height. The original church is said to have fallen into ruin sometime in the seventeenth century. The new church of early Gothic style was built in 1811 on the foundations of the old St. Columba's Round Tower. The Sexton’s Lodge is also of architectural interest and was built in 1870. The body of Brian Boru was said to have been brought there in 1014 to be waked after the Battle of Clontarf, while on the way to be buried in [wiki=3e92752942875d8f631ab38a57937557]Armagh[/wiki]. As of June 2013 the Belfry and Round Tower have been closed to the public for safety reasons. The church has also been closed for restoration and is due to reopen later in 2013.

      * In a locked chamber. Reputed to be where Swords got its name when St. Colmcille blessed the well of clear water, ‘Sord’ being the Irish for ‘clear or pure’. Entry to the Well is by appointment only by contacting Swords Historical Society at the number above. The well chamber can be viewed from the outside.

      * Built as Carnegie Library in 1909. Redbrick building typical early 20th century. Now houses a museum and genealogy centre run by the Swords Historical Society.

      * A pre-Catholic Emancipation church built in 1827 on a site donated by James Taylor of Swords House. The graveyard contains many interesting headstones, including one for Andrew Kettle, who was known as Parnell’s Righthand Man.

    • Modern

      The award-winning modern Fingal County Hall by Bucholz McEvoy architects dominates the northern end of Main Street. It is built in 2000 on the site of Swords House, the home of the Norman family of Taylors of Swords. Records show the family came there in the 13th century and built a ‘Mansion House’ in 1403.

      * This large dry grocery distribution centre is the 8th largest building in the world by volume. The building is over half a kilometre long and could fit 16 jumbo jets. Access to the building is restricted to private tours, but it is worth getting a view from the outside. The best view is from the R126 road between Swords and Donabate, where you can see the full length of this huge building.

    • Natural

      The Ward River Valley Park is a linear park on the banks of the Ward River approaching town. It covers an area of 89 ha. (220 acres) between Swords town centre and Knocksedan Bridge. Features of interest include some 12th century fortifications, woodland habitats, wetlands and rolling grassland. There are viewing points, picnic sites, sports pitches and tennis courts.

      * The Broadmeadow Estuary is a fine example of an estuarine system, providing both feeding and roosting areas for a range of wintering waterfowl. The lagoonal nature of the inner estuary is of particular value as it increases the diversity of birds which occur. The site is of high conservation importance, with an internationally important population of Brent Goose and nationally important populations of a further 12 species.

      * Newbridge Demesne covers an area of 150 ha. (370 acres). The park was probably designed by the Wexford landscape gardener Charles Fritzell about 250 years ago. The parkland is a good example of an eighteenth century landscape park with perimeter woodland belts and fine vistas across lawns and wildflower meadows. Newbridge House built by the Cobbe family in the mid 1700s is open to the public and is a fine example of Georgian architecture. It is a focal point in the park and the cobbled courtyard includes a restaurant, and a range of interesting outbuildings. Other visitor attractions include Newbridge Traditional Farm where you can see old breeds of farm animals, as well as displays of machinery were part of Irish farming life in previous centuries. The Walled Garden has extensive orchards and a collection of old Irish apple varieties. Two 19th Century glasshouses have recently been restored and sections of the walled garden have been replanted with herbaceous borders. The Park also includes a major Children's Playground and Sports Pitches.
