Has anyone been to County Limerick in Ireland?

Question

What is County Limerick, Ireland like?

Answer 1

yes make sure you go to Bunratty Castle,its great.the roads there are u/s though

Answer 2

Well the city is small enough (compared to other countries)

There is not a lot to do in the city but the county itself is gorgeous.

Adare village is known as being one of most beautiful villages in ireland full of thatched cottages, plenty of traditional pubs, friendly people and the streets are almost spotless.

Plenty of scenery, full of beautiful villages, nice city for the shopaholic...and a hurling team that is in the All-Ireland final in September!

Answer 3

Yes, to be sure. And it was lovely. It even has Leprechaen crossings on the road which are rainbow coloured.

Answer 4

it's a really great place to visit! i'm only back from limerick a week! shopping in the city is great, hotels there are lovely, try the Quality, i was there before, ad it was awesome! you can also visist things in clare, cork and kerry during your stay, they're not that far away really

Answer 5

County Limerick is nice, but the public transport in the county is not the best. It's a very rural place, and while there are lots of foreigners coming in to live and work there, the local accent takes some getting used to. It takes time to get to know people, and you have to make the effort also, but it's worth it. A great way to get to know local people is to find out where the nearest set-dancing classes are on, and join them. The teacher and students at the one in the Ballintemple Inn in Newcastle West are particularly welcoming, although this doesn't take place until the autumn.

By the way, other answerers are all wrong about Bunratty Castle, as it's in County Clare. Close to Limerick city, and well worth a visit, but the question is about County Limerick.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 9

Yes, in 1970. I was 10. I don't remember much and I'd be willing to bet it has changed quite a bit. The only thing I truly remember is King John's Castle in the "city" of Limerick (I just checked, and at 90,000 it would be a large-sized town in Texas.

Answer 10

limerick city is good for shopping, its quite big, but dangerous at night. the county is beautiful, bunratty castle especially, and lots of things to see and do, in the county and surrounding counties.
