Bunratty Castle & Folk Park

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Sheedy's (including some amazing fresh scones) before saying goodbye to Bertie and heading south to Dingle. We stopped at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. Bunratty Castle was built around 1425. It has been restored with furnishings from the 15th and 16th centuries, making it the "most complete and authentic castle in Ireland." Wes took his seat at the head of the banquet table and we were "locked" in the dungeon. The winding staircases were steep and a little scary to navigate but they led to rooms filled with beautiful furniture, artwork, and detailed wood working. The Folk Park features over 30 buildings and is a replica of a 19th century village, including a rural section and a village street.Leggi altro
