Craggaunowen Welcomes Riddett Family

Craggaunowen Castle & Crannóg were delighted to welcome the Riddett Family as part of the Great Aviva Road Trip


Stepping back in time, the family witnessed history come to life as they met resident Chieftain and Druid, who captivated them with stories of Ireland's past. After exploring the castle and climbing to the top to take in the beautiful views, a visit to the Crannóg was next where the kids have a lovely time interacting with Maggie the Hen. Master of the lathe, Jack, greeted the family at the ringfort where he explained the skill of woodturning before the family set off to learn of the history of The Brendan Boat. 

From the Castle to the Crannóg, the Folklore Trail to the adorable animals, the Riddetts truly embraced the history and magic of Craggaunowen. We're thrilled they enjoyed their visit and learned so much about Ireland's heritage.
