A Castle in Clare

By Linda Tancs

Set on 26 acres of countryside in County Clare, Ireland’s Bunratty Castle is one of the country’s most historic castles. Built in 1425, it was restored in 1954 to its former medieval splendor and now contains the finest collection of medieval furniture in the country. The castle features prominently as part of a Folk Park, a living museum comprising recreated farmhouses, streets, homes and shops from the 19th century.
