General
information about
County
Limerick
The county of Limerick is located at the
south-west of Ireland, where the Shannon river
widens before running into the Atlantic. This
county has a particularly rich history which marks
its landscape and its inheritance, with its
castles, its old museums and its walls. Indeed, the
town of Limerick has many museums and art galleries
- the museum of hunting, the collection of
self-portraits at the University of Limerick and
Limerick city museum itself.
The rural charm and quiet of its slightly
undulating landscapes, which characterizes the
County is in contrast to the beauty of its cities:
Castleconnell on the Shannon or Adare, with its old
houses with the thatched roofs and its medieval
churches.
This county also offers golf, fishing,
horseriding and many other sports of interest.
