Bunratty Castle and Folk Park is a perfect way to experience medieval Ireland and is one of the most popular things to see on our virtual tour. The Castle is located in Southwest Ireland, County Clare. It s nearly three hours away by car from the Dublin Airport, but the route is straightforward and takes you through incredible scenery.
From Dublin Airport, head onto the M7 for the majority of the drive before taking the E20 and then the exit leading to the town and the castle of Bunratty.
The journey from Shannon airport is even simpler and only a 15 minute drive: Take N19 north from the airport to N18 and follow the signs to old Bunratty road. Then take the exit to Bunratty.
Here are some fun facts about this amazing Irish landmark. Hopefully they will entice you to pay a visit in person! But if that is not possible, you can always use them to impress your friends with your knowledge of one of the most-visited attractions in Ireland.
You can find more information about the incomparable Bunratty Castle & Folk Park at the official website here.
