TOURS - SATURDAY 12TH JUNE  

(1) LIMERICK CITY TOUR - WALKING TOUR
Celebrated in song as a Lady, the city of Limerick has matured with sophistication and grace. Limerick, with a charter older than London, has retained much of it's historical past in attractions such as the Treaty Stone & King John’s Castle. You will be taken on a tour of King John’s Castle. 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. The Hunt Museum, home to the largest private art collection in the country houses an internationally important collection of some 2,000 original works. In the afternoon, you will have some free time for shopping.

 

(2) FULL DAY TOUR - CLIFFS OF MOHER & BURREN EXCURSION

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. 18.00hrs.
