County Limerick is a historic and predominantly agricultural area in the Mid-West region of Munster. It's known for its agricultural land, proud Gaelic history, and the vibrant metropolitan centre, Limerick City.
The Golden Vale in the southeast is one of the most fertile plains in Ireland. The county is bordered by the River Shannon estuary and the River Maigue. The Slieve Felim and Galtee Mountains provide scenic backdrops to the south, and Limerick City is the major economic and cultural hub. It has a rich history, King John's Castle on King's Island in the River Shannon offers immersive exhibits. Adare village is considered Irelandโs prettiest village; itโs famous for its picturesque cottages, medieval monasteries, and manor house hotel. Limerick is a hotbed for Gaelic hurling, with its side being one of the most successful in recent years, which is a huge source of pride for locals. Curraghchase Forest Park offers chances to enjoy the great outdoors. This large park surrounds the ruins of a stately home, with walking trails, a playground, and picnic areas. Then thereโs the fascinating Lough Gur, a lake and an important archaeological site, surrounded by Stone Age settlements, ring forts, and an impressive stone circle.
