3About Bunratty
Bunratty sits just off the N18 between Limerick and Galway, making it a handy stop for tourists heading west. The village is 20 minutes north of Limerick city and about an hour south of Galway, with Shannon Airport only 10 kilometers away via the N19. Take Junction 7 off the N18 to reach the village center directly. The main draw is Bunratty Castle, a 15th-century tower house where medieval banquets are held with costumed performers, and guests eat with their hands just like they did centuries ago. EV drivers will find plenty of charging points around Shannon Airport and Limerick.
