The worst attack that castle had faced was in 1318 when the town and castle was completely destroyed. But later in 1332 it was re-constructed for the King of England. After that too it faced many wars until it came in Irish hands in 1353. In 1425 ‘The MacNamara family' completed the present structure, and in 1954 Bunratty Castle was restored to its former medieval grandeur that it is today.
In Bunratty you can also enjoy banquet but in summer seasons only. There are two sitting times viz: 5.30p.m. and 8.00p.m. You will definitely enjoy the royal treatment that you will receive as soon as you reach the castle. At the arrival you will be greeted by a pipe-piper and then you will lead your way to the entrance of the castle. Then you cross the drawbridge to reach the drinking reception where you can enjoy some of the oldest wines and the butler will introduce you with the history of the castle. The food is accompanied by the traditional songs and instrumental.
The folk park in the vicinity of the castle is also a beautiful place to visit. It is like the early 19 century roads having historical cottages and buildings that include a post office, hardware store, school, Doctors office, pubs.
The Bunratty castle is also a must place to visit. It is a beautiful place that supplies fruits, vegetables and flowers to the Bunratty house. It is like one of the Victorian type garden.
So what are you waiting for? Just book your room at Clare hotels and come to Clare to explore the wonderful Bunratty castle.
