Wow, were we wrong. If I were to recommend a single spot to visit in all of County Clare this would be it. (actually you have to see the cliffs at Kilkee as well) The reason this would be the one place is that it actually contains everything you'd want to see, spread out within a beautiful forest trail walk....

Young and old will get something out a visit to the Park . If you are interested in Irelands heritage. It gives one a good grounding and a sense of what the building and the people were like.

"The Living Past Experience" introduces an Ireland from pre- and early Christian history, with a crannog (a settlement on a created island), an ancient cooking site, an Iron Age road, a ring fort, the Brendan Boat that recreated the legendary voyage of Brendan the Navigator, and a castle from the 1500s. There are wild (fenced) Irish boars, rare breeds of... More

A local friend with historical knowledge took us to here & it proved to be a lovely day out. It is well set out & easily walkable with small kids. The shaded forest was nice respite from the sun & our girls had a ball throwing a stick to our friend's dog along the way. The displays are well set... More

This place has a decent recreation of old Irish ways. It was an interesting walk through the tower and villages. There isn't a ton of stuff to see so I wouldn't necessary say it was worth what we paid to get in. Some texhibits aren't explained very well. There is plenty of parking, though the road to get here would... More

A couple of weeks ago I had visitors from Germany, a couple with two teenagers and a young boy, all of whom were much into medieval fairs and life, and archery back in Germany. It was a great sunny day and after having been at Bunratty, we took several side roads to come to Craagaunowen Bronze Age Project. Down side:... More

This place is a great way to end a trip to Ireland. There is a Crannog, a little island with a hut, a medieval castle and a ring fort, wild boars and St Brendans castle. There is lovely porter cake in the cafe, very enjoyable!

I visited this place about 20 years ago and I remember it being nice. It's still a good place to visit. It focuses on Ireland about 1000 BC through to about the 17th century. There isn't an awful lot to see, but what's there is great. Kids will like the souterranean which is where they used to store food and... More

Well signposted attraction short drive from shannon, set in beautiful rural countryside, this breathtaking place it seems 'other wordly'. We arrived on the day they were filming Lunaghasa Live for RTE so unfortunately the ring fort was shut for visitors, I believe we should have been advised that when I called Shannon Heritage that morning, that was the only flaw...
