10 Aliwee Caves Aliwee’s cave system consists of over a kilometre of passages leading into the heart of the mountain. Its features include an underground river and a waterfall as well as some large stalactites and stalagmites. The remains of bears can also be seen inside the caves and some people have suggested that the caves were the last bear den in Ireland. Roughly 300 metres of cave passage is open to the public, one third of the total length of the cave. The tours end at a point called the Highway and exit the cave via a 250-metre man-made tunnel.

The impressive park features over 30 buildings in a ‘living’ village and rural setting. Rural farmhouses, village shops and streets are recreated and furnished as they would have appeared at that time, from the poorest one roomed dwelling to Bunratty House a fine stately home of the Studdarts, the last family to occupy Bunratty Castle.
