I had no idea the folk park was so big and so extensive. It was probably my favorite part of Bunratty. There were 17th century hut style homes decked out completely the way people actually lived and the further you walked along the path, the further in time you went. Of course I loved the late 18th century doctor’s kit and the 19th century farm homes, but the whole experience was really something else. I only wish we’d had more time to really explore everything. There was so much here we missed.

Did an Irish travel agency hire you to advertise form them? You are seriously selling Ireland to me with all these beautiful photos. I’m determined to visit someday!
