Seeing Bunratty Castle


I arrived way too early for my flight from Shannon Airport to Stansted (on route to Canterbury) last summer, so I took a half-an-hour bus ride to spend a couple of hours at the picturesque village of Bunratty.

As soon as I got off the bus at Bunratty, a Spanish family excitedly told me to have a look at the Castle. Unfortunately, it was late afternoon, so I couldn't go inside the Castle grounds, but it was possible to have a nice cold beer admiring the Castle tower building from a short distance:
 

Have just read that the origins of Bunratty Castle date back to the 13th century.

There was also a quite picturesque bridge near the Castle:
