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.

Absolutely excellent service provided by Easy Transfer. The vehicle I travelled in from Gdansk Airport to Gdynia was excellent, plenty of space and very comfortable. Customer service was great with great a English speaking driver. Very happy with my experience, I can highly recommend and I hope that EasyTransfer continue to grow in the area. Highly recommended

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.

Saint Mary's Cathedral

Saint Mary's Cathedral is one of the oldest buildings in Limerick and stands in the heart of the medieval city, looking over the majestic River Shannon. Originally the Royal Palace for the Kings of Thomond it was gifted to the church in 1168. It is a living church where worship is offered daily, as it has been for the last 850 years. Please come and visit us at Saint Mary's Cathedral. You will be most welcome !

Reviewed By madigan24 - Knoxville, United States

I love cathedrals and have to visit every one I come across. This one was a gem! Beautiful architecture and gorgeous stained glass. It felt very much like a living, breathing worship community while still preserving its history. The cemetery was also very interesting to view. If you are going to visit King John’s Castle as well while you’re in town, I would suggest visiting the cathedral first, as it will give you a good mental image and context when you come across mention of it in the castle exhibits.

King John's Castle

This newly renovated 13th-century castle is open for tours.

Reviewed By Bozeman-Dublin - Trim, Ireland

Fantastic castle, a wonderful museum that really brings the history of Limerick to life with a combination of audio visual displays, interactive exhibits, artefacts and really interesting story-boards. The first half of the self-guided tour deals mostly with medieval history, the sieges, treaties and battles for power and what life was like for the people of the city then. There are superb models of the city at its various stages of growth. Then you can go down to the medieval foundations before ascending the towers and waking the battlements. Fantastic place, I was there well over 2 hours and just loved every minute. The staff were so, so helpful as well, it's important for me to mention that.
