Limerick's lying farmland is framed on its southern and eastern limits by prominent uplands and mountains. Limerick city is noisily urban. There is always something to discover in Limerick! The land is virtually overcrowded with fascinating historic sites and visitors attractions. About 15km south of the city are the evocative archaeological sites around Lough Gur and while about the same distance southwest of the city is the cute village of Adare.
