Travelling in Shannon with a Rental Car

No trip to Shannon is complete with out a visit to historic Bunratty Castle. Located just 12 kilometres outside of Shannon, the site was originally a Viking trading post. The castle has been destroyed several times, but its present version was completed in 1425 by the MacNamera family.

The castle has a rich and dramatic history, changing owners countless times throughout the years, often between the warring English and Irish.
