The Limerick / Tipperary / County Limerick region
The county of Limerick is located at the south-west of Ireland, where the Shannon river widens before running into the Atlantic. This county has a particularly rich history which marks its landscape and its inheritance, with its castles, its old museums and its walls. Indeed, the town of Limerick has many museums and art galleries - the museum of hunting, the collection of self-portraits at the University of Limerick and Limerick city museum itself. The rural charm and quiet of its slightly undulating landscapes, which characterizes the County is in contrast to the beauty of its cities: Castleconnell on the Shannon or Adare, with its old houses with the thatched roofs and its medieval churches. This county also offers golf, fishing, horseriding and many other sports of interest.
Ardpatrick area
Most historic of the four Limerick places linked with the national apostle, St. Patrick, hilltop monastic ruins are attributed to the patron saint, although the stump of a round tower is judged to be older than the church ruins. The name Ardpatrick is from the Irish 'Ard Phádraig' meaning the Height or Hill of Patrick, or the High Place of Pádraig. The ancient name of the hill was 'Tulach na Feinne' which means the hill of the Fianna. Local attractions include Lough Gur (world famous archaeological site), Swiss Cottage, Cahir Castle, Mitchelstown Caves, Croom Mills, Adare Village and the historic town of Kilmallock. For the outdoor enthusiast there is hill walking, with many excellent mapped walking routes. Horse-riding, golfing and fishing available nearby.
