Lismore Castle

Lismore was the home of the Earls of Cork - most memorably the "Bachelor Duke" of Devonshire. In the early 1800's he was the richest man in England and he lavished his funds on Lismore Castle.

You can visit the Castle's garden and grounds, or play a round of golf on the course which winds about its buttresses.

Lismore Heritage Town

The Town of Lismore features a First Millennium Cathedral and the Old Courthouse has now become Lismore Heritage Centre, where you can experience the rich history of the town and its surroundings.

So significant and relatively untouched is the town's historic fabric that the Irish nation has decreed Lismore a Heritage Town.

In the third millennium, Lismore has renewed old paths and created a new park in the centre of town.

There's a really excellent playground for the kids, fountains and streams. The town itself is compact and contains a number of unique stores.

Few other areas in Ireland boast so many highly recommended restaurants.

To sum up, Lismore is a lovely base for any holiday.
