Countyclare
At a glance
Found just a stone’s throw away from Bunratty Castle is Blarney Woollen Mills, Ireland’s largest gift shop chain. Visitors looking to bring back that little something special will have no trouble finding the perfect gift amongst the array of items available, including clothes, Waterford crystals (regarded as the best of its kind in the world), books, jewellery, rugs and much more.
One of the main products you can grab here are Ireland’s beautiful and warm Aran sweaters. Originating from the Aran Islands, the colours of these jumpers tend to echo the colours and scenery of the rural Irish landscape, while the stitches are known to have traditional interpretations. Claddagh rings and bands are another traditional item sold at Blarney Woollen Mills; these pieces of jewellery are inspired by ancient traditional designs and themes and have been popular for many years.
After an afternoon's shopping, why not pop into Christy's next door for a refreshing drink!
Opening times: Mon-Sat, 9.30am-6pm. Sun, 10am-6pm.
