Suggestions Please


Hi, my niece is doing a semester at University of Limerick this fall.  I'm planning on taking my sons (20 and 18) for a week over Thanksgving break.  Any suggestions on what to not miss or not both with since we will only be there a week.  Ideas for Day trips or even an over-nighter would be welcome.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Irish,

Welcome to my forum. It sounds like a fun trip. Just keep in mind that days are short in November so plan your day trips from Limerick accordingly. Some places that might appeal:

Cliffs of Moher
Burren
Aillwee Cave & Birds of Prey Center
Rock of Cashel
Cahir Castle
Bunratty Castle and Folk Park
King John's Castle (Limerick)

I suggest visiting the local tourist office for info, maps, brochures and possible discount coupons on arrival.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Michele

A nice over- nighter could be the Dingle Peninsula. Lots of good options from Limerick...

I agree -- you would do well to get out of Limerick quickly and see other things in the West, such as the Dingle Peninsula or West Cork.  Limerick is not that appealing a location for a vacation stay in my opinion.

So many better places to be.  Explore and have fun! smile

Irish,

Since it seems you will spend most of your time in the Limerick area visiting your niece here are a few more day trip options:

Lough Derg Drive
Galway
Ennis
Coole Park
Foynes Flying Boat Museum (your kids might like the mock-up of the flying boat)
Hunt Museum (if into museums)

Check locally on opening times because not everything is open in Nov.
