The folk park features reconstructions of historical cottages and buildings, recreating the general feel of the 19th century with a period style village main street. Old tools, furniture and artefacts are displayed, with the village kept alive by some inhabited shops, an old home bakery and peat fires in cottages.

The Medival night at Bunratty castle was great craic. We started off with some mead in the Great Hall- quite like a dessert wine but made of honey, water and yeast. The singing and pagentry were good fun and after a while we headed down to eat. The food was surprisingly good - those Medival lords and ladies really did eat like kings. No forks though - not that civilised appartently. We finished the night off with with a few pints in the original Durty Nelly's - established in 1620!! It was fun but Stephen maintains the San Antonio Durty Nelly's is nicer! Probably a little more room in the new version.
