Your next destination is Adare. Explore the nearby village, one of the friendliest and most picturesque village in Ireland. Here you'll find streets lined with thatched cottages among castles, ruins and medieval monasteries.
Today, take the 20-minute drive to Limerick, which dates back to 812! Pay a visit to the iconic King John's Castle, a breathtaking 13th century castle which dominates the city.
