Askeaton Friary

This historic friary was used from the start of the 15th century through 1714.

Reviewed By JLorKen - Brisbane, Australia

My grandfather was born near Askeaton, so I was interested to see the town and area. A local pointed us towards the Tourist information centre, a quaint little house where the delightful Sandra is waiting to help you enjoy the town. Sandra put us in touch with Tour Guide extraordinaire Anthony Sheehy. What a brilliant passionate guide. He made the old ruins of the Friary come alive. You could picture the friars making bread, saying mass and praying in the cloisters. This is a lovely little town which hasn't been quite discovered by the tourists yet as Adare has. Definitely worth a visit.

A misty Sunday morning walk took me up the mountains of Ballyhoura. I would suggest to GPS Ballyhoura Car Park before setting out as this will bring you to the beginning of the walk. The walk itself can become steep at times taking you past a ringfort and up over many hills and mountains including Seefin Mountain and a good workout. It is an area with many rocks and shadows in the distance and carries an air of mystery about it. There is a presence of steeping back thousands of years while standing within this environment. I came in early January which led to lots of bog land, though there is always access through.

Found a stunned Coal Tit in the centre of Limerick city on the footpath. Took him in so he wasn't trampled on by anyone. Rang Animal Magic who didn't hesitate to come collect the poor thing. In the end, he was just stunned and managed to fly away after about 2 hours. Animal Magic drove all the way from Kilmallock to Limerick City to save the bird, showing how passionate they are about wildlife and it's wellbeing.

Desmond Hall

Reviewed By PaulineMcCarthy2015 - Heathcote, Australia

Only decided to call in while travelling to Cliffs of Moher. Was well worth the stop . Well preserved what they have left of the Castle. Our guide Justin was informative and funny. Didn’t take up a lot of time and it was free. Very enjoyable visit and well done to all who run this historic site. Pat and Pauline McCarthy

Old Irish Ways

Reviewed By angelahalford - Singapore, Singapore

When visiting Loch Gur recently we were advised to visit this fascinating 'hidden gem' only 5 K's away - it was such a surprise and delight! Dennis, the proprietor, showed us his unusual collection of objects that tell a tale of Irish social history - we walked into a treasure trove of old Ireland that includes a schoolroom, pub, farmhouse, cobblers, postoffice, village shop, blacksmiths, garage, and of course his special collection from his travels. It was to be a quick look-see that lasted over an hour! Highly recommended if you are in the area.
