Watch traditional craft demonstrations, enjoy local food, and photograph charming streetscapes. With three hours, you can fully immerse yourself in Ireland’s history, architecture, and culture, combining the majesty of the castle with the nostalgic charm of everyday life in the Folk Park.

Adare is one of Ireland’s prettiest villages, known for its postcard-perfect thatched cottages and rich heritage.

Visit the ruins of Desmond Castle and the village’s three medieval monasteries for a glimpse into Adare’s past. The nearby River Maigue offers peaceful walks and scenic views, while local cafés and traditional pubs provide hearty Irish food and live music.
