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.

Foynes Flying Boat Museum

The Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum excitingly captures the story of how Foynes became one of the great aviation hubs of the world between 1937-1945. Walk in the footsteps of JFK, Bob Hope, Eleanor Roosevelt & many other dignitaries, movie stars & refugees who landed at Foynes during World War II. Throughout the original terminal building this truly unique story is told by way of original film in a 1940’s style cinema, showcases covering the war years & numerous exhibits on the romantic flying boat era including the chance to board a life size replica of the Boeing 314 Flying Boat. Foynes & the Flying Boats will be forever connected with the invention of Irish Coffee as they combined to give us this uniquely Irish treat. Learn all about this historic event by watching a wonderful 3D holographic show re-enacting this famous night back in 1943 & after why not taste a delicious Irish Coffee in its original home.

Spent a wonderful rainy afternoon checking out this museum. Maureen O’Hara had a strong connection with this important part of aviation history. Definitely a hidden gem worth the time if you are traveling by car in Ireland.
