At Craggaunowen near Shannon, you set your own pace through a Bronze Age crannog, Celtic ring fort, souterrain, togher roadway, Brendan Boat, and restored 16th-century castle. Re-enactors bring old crafts and music to life, while lake walks, rare-breed animals, and a farmhouse tea-room round out this two-hour visit.

The woman at the front desk was LOVELY and had many tips, and the gentlemen working as re-enactors in the village were exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly (especially the performer who played the ilhan pipes for me!)”
