20 Beautiful Castles in Ireland to Inspire Your Next Trip
"Overlooking the Clarinbridge River in County Galway, this 13th-century castle retains parts of its medieval walls, battlements, and decorative stone carvings; its Great Hall is accessed via a wooden staircase that was originally meant to be removed during battles to prevent enemy entry. From March to November visitors can see medieval costumes, armor, weaponry, and a replica market square and dungeon, with guided tours, a picnic area, a playground, and interactive exhibits making the site family-friendly." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.
