The Castle At Bunratty

Our favorite day in Ireland so far - our visit to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park!


Each of the four corner towers had these spiral staircases. We were fascinated by them... but very grateful for the handrails to help us up and down! In fact. when coming down one of the last staircase, Sophie said something like, "Oh Mr. Handrail, come to me and let me feel your love!"
The kids on the battlements.



Spencer really digs swords and armor, so was in his element.This is the view from the towers. Somehow pictures never do the landscape justice! You need to see the details and feel the wind blowing in your face and know that you're standing five stories in the air, on stones that have seen centuries of drama and battle, archers and courtesans, dukes and danger... we totally dig castles!
