The Castle was built c. 1210 and is one of the finest examples of fortified Norman architecture in Ireland. From there you will visit St. Mary’s Cathedral and then the Hunt Museum.

In the afternoon, you will have some free time for shopping.
   

FULL DAY TOUR - €35 per person - **fully booked**

Cliffs of Moher and Burren Excursion- Sunday, 9th July

This morning, you will depart Limerick, travelling to the Cliffs of Moher via Ennis & Lahinch. The Cliffs of Moher are the highest vertical cliffs in Europe standing almost 700ft firm against the thundering Atlantic Ocean and stretching for almost five miles. O’Brien’s Tower, which was constructed in the early 19th century as a viewing point for Victorian tourists, is located on Moher's highest cliff. From its exceptional vantage position you can view the Clare coastline, the Aran Islands and mountains as far apart as Kerry and Connemara.

Continue your journey through the solemn grandeur of the Burren. The Burren, located in the northwestern corner of County Clare, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the quieter waters of Galway Bay, is a rock garden of no ordinary proportions. The Burren extends over more than a hundred square miles and most of its bare, pale grey limestone. It contains dozens of megalithic tombs and Celtic crosses and a ruined Cistercian Abbey from the 12th century.

Returning to Limerick at approx. 17.30hrs.
