Limerick is a jewel of a county nestled into Ireland’s glorious  Shannon region. Around every corner is something different – a charming village, an eccentric castle, an archeological wonder or an awesome view.

The dauntingly beautiful Ballyhoura Mountains preside over a peaceful countryside that’s studded with historic sights and haunting monuments.

Limerick’s villages and towns are renowned for their beauty and places like Castleconnell, Killmallock and Adare are magical, romantic and rewarding little spots, which will seduce you with their charm.
