Ardara

Do you want to know what life was like in the 1800s? Visit Ardara. This charming village, which lies adjacent to the River Maigue and has been designated a Heritage Town, is only 20 minute drive from Limerick City.

Ardara is charming and peaceful, in striking contrast to Limerick's bright lights and bustling streets. Ardara Park, the neighborhood park, is so tranquil that you won't want to leave. You'll struggle to find a location with a more peaceful and laid-back vibe with beautifully kept lawns, nicely groomed trees, and inviting benches. Both the village's Holy Trinity Abbey Church and its charming thatched-roof homes are stunning. Additionally, you should take some time to explore charming shops and coffee cafes. Ardara Desmond Castle lies on the outside of the village, and King John's Castle is only 30 minutes distant, so castle fans are in for a great treat. Two 18-hole golf courses can be found in Ardara, both of which are accessible by foot from the village.
