Killua is a historic castle located in the most romantic demesne in Ireland with links to Sir Walter Raleigh and Lawrence of Arabia.

The castle, which long lay in ruins, has been fully restored and is now dedicated to expressing and sharing our greatest passions: history, art, environmental conservation, regenerative farming, and gastronomy.

The guided tour of the castle consists of an approximately 50 min. visit to the main rooms of Killua Castle, all located on the ground floor, with an optional visit to the 18th century kitchen in the cellars!

Looking upwards as the last of the day’s sunshine retreats westward and the open sky grades from pink to navy blue, this is when their social gatherings begin.

As dusk deepens, flocks of starlings join from every direction, building momentum as their number swells until thousands of wingbeats join in an enormous, breathtaking synchronised flight.

This aerial phenomenon is one of the most awe-inspiring of natural wonders to occur in this part of the world.

The Murmuration Experience Package at Bloomfield House Hotel, Leisure Club & Spa includes:

2 Nights Bed & Full Irish Breakfast
One Carvery Lunch & Tea or Coffee
Signed "Murmurations" Book by award winning Photographer James Crombie
Souvenir Printed Murmuration Photograph
Complimentary Hot Chocolate to sip by the lake
