Castles in Ireland

We visited two castles while in Ireland. One of them had been transformed into a hotel and the other was a restored, medieval castle. At Dromoland castle (the hotel) we wandered around the grounds and attempted to lose Bridget and throw Audrey off a tower. Bunratty Castle was rated number two on our list of awesome castles. It has been fully furnished to look like it did in the medieval times. It had numerous towers and Bridget and I almost got blown off the roof because it was so windy. It had a medieval village around the castle so we got to see what traditional cottages and shops looked like in Ireland several hundred years ago.
