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.

Clonshire Equestrian Centre

Equestrian centre offering riding for all ages and abilities. Full disabled facilities. Accommodation available on site either self catering or full board. Unaccompanied childrens holidays. 120 acre parkland cross country course, two indoor arenas, extra large outdoor arena.

Reviewed By Trip614022 - Lakewood, United States

Horses for every riding ability and lessons targeted according to experience. Fantastic huge indoor arena and true all weather outdoor arenas. It's possible to stay here during some parts of the year but the rooms are a bit minimalist and they usually are for young horse camp students during the summer months. I did have lunch a few times in their lodging house. It is family style and delicious -- cooks choice. I stayed in town at the Dunraven Inn and took and cab each day to and from the stables. It's a pretty nice older hotel.

There is a small magical stable yard in the environs of Limerick. The ponies and horses are memorable and the guides, Gillian and Mary make certain you are looked after. If you want to feel the ambience that surrounds this place-then take a trek with your guide to a mystical castle on horseback. If you ride horses and love being in local countryside, call and book!
