With its thatched cottages and medieval ruins, Adare in County Limerick is often called Ireland’s prettiest village — and the best way to meet it is on foot with Adare Walks.
History, told well
The aim of the tour is simple: bring history alive by making it as fun and interesting as possible — and to answer every question along the way. On the walk you will hear how Adare rose to become a major town, how it declined, and how it was rebuilt by the Earls of Dunraven. Expect tales of churches, monasteries, castles, counts, courts and earls.
Why a guided walk?
Adare’s story hides in plain sight — in stone towers, abbey walls and village lanes. A guide turns a stroll into a story, and gives you the local context you would never get from a guidebook alone.
