Bunratty Castle

Bunratty Castle is a large 15th-century tower house in County Clare, Ireland. The castle and the adjoining folk park are run by Shannon Heritage as tourist attractions. The current castle is the fourth to have been built on the site of a 10th century Viking trading camp, and from 1475, it was owned by the O'Briens, the most powerful family in the province of Munster. The castle features stunning surrounding landscapes, gardens, and a herd of around 3,000 deer. The folk park includes traditional buildings, village shops, and re-created old streets, making it a fun and immersive place to spend an afternoon. The castle is famous for its medieval banquets, which welcome guests with great wine and honey mead, and also hosts Céilí in the Kitchen, recreating old-style céilí dances and seisiúns
