Places To Visit
The Clare Glens through which the Clare river flows, is a gorge that has many waterfalls and provides excellent "adventure" walks. The wooded nature trail has been mapped out in a looped course format, which opens up all areas of the Glens to the visitor. The river Clare forms the boundary between Co. Limerick and Co. Tipperary and is located 15 minutes drive from these houses, just outside Newport.

Silvermines, a pretty village, lies at the foot of the Silvermines Mountains. For 700 years, both open-cast and underground mining was carried out by different groups, evidence of which still exists today. The Viewing Point at Step, just above the village provides magnificent views into 4 counties!

Bunratty Castle and Folk Park is one of Ireland's top visitor attractions. A visit to the castle, the most complete and authentic mediaeval fortress in Ireland, and the Folk Park nearby, is a wonderful experience for all the family. Bunratty Castle is located less that 1 hour drive from the houses.

Birr Castle, with its beautiful gardens and interesting museum is located just one hour drive away and is well worth a visit.

Many of our guests in the past have enjoyed seeing the Dolphins off the Coast of Co. Clare. Tours leave from the harbour town of Kilrush, a little more than an hour away.

Roscrea Castle is also steeped in history and legend. King John allegedly built it in 1213. At one corner is a tall rectangular tower with a fine vault and a fireplace on the second floor. The upper floors have an unusual selection of passages and stairs leading to various defensive positions, but some parts of the uppermost storey date from the 16th century. The curtain wall surrounding the enclosure is reached from the first floor of the tower. In the wall of the castle facing on to the street there are holes, which indicate the place where the drawbridge to the castle once stood. Dominating the heart of Roscrea town, this 13th century state-of-the-art royal castle and definitely well worth a visit!

King John`s Castle in Limerick has an interesting museum and multimedia exhibition and is a good option for when the sun is not shining.

"Lar na Pairce" is the museum of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), located in Thurles, just 45 minutes away. This is a great place about our National games including Hurling and Gaelic Football, as this is the Birthplace of the GAA.
