Review & FAQ:

Bunratty Castle is a large, 15th-century castle in County Clare, and is the most intact and authentic castle in the country. It was carefully and beautifully restored in 1954 with historically accurate furnishings from the 15th and 16th centuries. In fact, the castle has the country’s best collection of medieval furniture, which can be explored solo at your leisure or by joining a docent-guided tour. There are nightly banquets where visitors to the castle can participate in a medieval feast and imagine what it might have been like to live in this magnificent castle during medieval times.
