The adjoining folk park boasts over 30 reconstructed buildings, including a forge, pub, post office, and blacksmith's shop. As you stroll through this replica of a 19th century Irish village, look for costumed actors demonstrating traditional jobs and crafts.

Great day out. Reasonably priced for the amount of things to see, you could spend a whole day there. The castle was well restored, much bigger than I expected. The cottages and village were authentic and it was interesting to learn about them. If you like history then it's well worth a visit.

We loved our time here. The history in the houses and the castle are amazing. We spent hours here and even though it was a very wet day we loved the experience. The staff were very nice and helpful. The place is very big with lots to see. The price for admission was well worth it as you can easily spend the whole day exploring the park and castle. Brilliant we loved it.
