Bunratty Castle – visit
The castle and folk park site are a little separate from the Woolen Mills. As groups often wish to visit this too, not least for lunch, it is a good idea to drive into the Woolen Mills car park, do a loop, then drive to Bunratty Folk Park entrance and drop off. Point out the route back to the Woolen Mills and arrange to meet them back on the coach there. This saves too much to-ing and fro-ing. Tell the group to be very careful on the road between the Mills and the Castle.
Pay entrances to Bunratty, hand out the free maps of the site and walk the whole group down to the left until you reach the castle. Announce your arrival to the guide and ensure the group know how and when to rejoin the coach, at the Woollen Mills car park, before handing over.
Best breakfast/lunch option is at the cafeteria in the Woollen Mills, also it can be slow. There are also the pub and tea room in the Folk Park and Dirty Nellie’s Pub outside the castle. Although most don’t serve food until midday.
There is an ATM and Exchange Facilities at the Mills.
