Bunratty Castle and Craggunowen folk park - Babbles Travelling Vlogs

Hello and welcome to todays adventure into Irelands ancient past!
This June bank holiday I brought my favourite people to see two special places in the Shannon region of Ireland.
The first was Craggunowen I found the weavers, the spinners, the swordfighters and the woodworkers of ancient ireland. It was a wonderful day to go and see how the guides brought it all to life.

If anyone around the south west of ireland is interested the swordmaster at craggunowen teaches swordsmanship and his facebook page is here! - / ishctheirishschoolofhi...
Next we stopped off at Bunratty Castle - a huge fully restored medieval castle in Co. Clare. They also have a huge folk park with reconstructions of many old Irish houses with different regional flair! and the sneaky pig in the shed :) lots of fluffy animals and baby goats and sheep to pet and play with and I even got to see butter being made!

An incredible experience is the medieval banquet in the great hall of bunratty castle itself.you are fed traditional fare and mead and entertained by traditional irish musicians - i have yet to go to one of these. Im saving it for a special day.
I really hope you enjoyed our little trip around the local amazing experiences. and i promise ill get back to podcasting soon!!!!!
