Bunratty Castle/Caisleán Bhun Raithe
The site was originally a Viking trading centre. There have been a number of castles on the site, but the present structure dates from 1425. It was restored after being purchased in 1954 and is now the venue for banquets. The folk park beside the castle gives a real life history of nineteenth century Ireland.
Getting there
The site is located off the N18 at Bunratty in County Clare west from Limerick towards Shannon Airport.
