Introducing Adare & Around
Tourists are drawn to Adare by the busload, which is sort of a shame as the roads are already pretty clogged. But suffer the traffic in high season and you’ll be rewarded by scores of medieval buildings and rows of thatched cottages that look, ahem, like they are right out of an English village (blame the 19th-century English landlord, the Earl of Dunraven). Underneath the crowds is a charming Irish village and during slack times its inherent charm is undeniable. Note: this is Ground Zero for many a wedding portrait; expect a passel of glowing brides, frantic grooms and pained fathers.

Located on the River Maigue, Adare lies 16km southwest of Limerick on the busy N21. There’s street-side parking in the village, but the best bet is a free car park behind the heritage centre.
