We have visited Bunratty over the decades, and we've loved the addition of so many animals, Irish wolfhounds, goats, pigs, as well as so many types of houses. Wonderful castle, and friendly and accommodating staff. Durty Nelly's is the place to visit prior to entry.

Everyone at the park was so kind and engaging as we took in the park. There were people singing, playing instruments, blacksmithing, woodworking, and more! I talked to a woman about knitting and yarn for quite some time, and another gentleman about one of the mills on property. The shops were a great opportunity to pick up a few souvenirs of our trip, and the artisans were all very willing to talk and answer questions. I loved every minute!

Buntatty Castle and Folk Park are located in Buntatty, a town located to the South of Galway, in Western Ireland. We came here to do the Medieval Banquet and before we walked around the Folk Park and saw the castle, which was very nice. The castle was built in the 15th century and nowadays, you can see all the main castle. A very beautiful and romantic place.
