Limerick is a city in western Ireland, along the main route from Dublin Airport to the venue, and only 45 minutes from Springfield Castle. Once called the most beautiful city in Ireland, Limerick is home to beautiful examples of Irish History. Visit the Hunt Museum, take a stroll through The Milk Market, or walk along Sarsfield's Bridge and view King John's Castle. Take a guided tour on foot or by river to discover why it's called The Treaty City and enjoy a sample of the local cuisine at one of the many restaurants and cafes.
Just an hour south of the venue lies another castle - Blarney Castle! Take a drive to the southern coast of Ireland and visit one of the most famous landmarks in the country! The castle itself was built nearly 600 years ago by Cormac MacCarthy, one of Ireland's greatest chieftans. Take a walk up the tower and, if you dare, find the legendary Stone of Eloquence, or the Blarney Stone. Many beleive that if you kiss the stone, it's rumored you'll receive the "gift of gab". Enjoy the gardens and tour the castle grounds while sipping on a warm coffee from the cafe and coffee hut. You can purchase tickets for the castle online or at the ticket office in person, and ensure you budget for the 2 Euro fee for parking your car at the car park.
Approximately two hours from the venues is one of Ireland's natural wonders - the Cliffs of Moher. These famous cliffs tower over the rugged West Clare Coast. You can walk the paved pathways and enjoy picnic areas to have a bite of lunch! Visit the "Lifts of Moher" which is an electric mobility vehicle so those who are less mobile can still experience the views. Advanced tickets are recommended through the website which provides access to all the onsite facilities.
