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.
But medieval castle life doesn’t come without its hardships. The last residents here were the Studdert family, who left the chunky stone fireplaces, vaulted cellars and great hall behind for the more modern comforts of Bunratty House in 1804. Today, Bunratty stands as one of the most complete and intact castles on the island of Ireland.

In its heyday, Bunratty was all about splendour with stunning surrounding landscapes, gardens and a herd of around 3,000 deer. Today, it still occupies over 26 acres of gorgeous countryside in County Clare, which is now also home to the Bunratty Folk Park.
Traditional buildings, village shops and re-created old streets make it a fun and immersive place to spend an afternoon. You can walk through the “Village Street” and experience brightly coloured storefronts, buildings and traditional Irish music; you can wander into the pet farm with indigenous breeds of sheep, cows, pigs and ponies; and you can explore the Folk Park Farmhouses, which represent different ways of country life in the early 1900s.
But make sure to leave time for the Regency walled garden, which is a surviving part of the original castle demesne.
Bunratty may be steeped in history, but it also knows how to have a good time. The castle is famous for its medieval banquets, which welcome guests with great wine and honey mead. Over the course of the evening, you’ll be entertained with music, history and a great banquet feast. It’s been going since 1963, so it must be doing something right!
