A walk in Adare Village Park
In the heart of the village is a pretty oasis and gathering place in the shape of a public park. The land for this beautiful park, like most of the village, was once part of the massive Dunraven estate.
One feature of the park is the lovely thatched gazebo, which plays a part in village events and is a popular photographic background for the many weddings that take place in Adare all year round.
Adare is a village in County Limerick, Ireland, located south-west of the city of Limerick. Renowned as one of Ireland's prettiest towns, Adare is designated as a heritage town by the Irish government.
The River Maigue is tidal as far as Adare, with the settlement forming around the eastern bank of the Maigue overlooking the fording point from which the village gets its name. An annalistic reference is made in the medieval Annals of Inisfallen at AI982.4 The Tree of Mag Adar was broken by Leth Cuinn. Owing to the strategic importance of the river crossing the Desmond castle was built overlooking the site near Ardshanbally (derived from Ard an tSeanbhaile - 'high ground of the old town'), and was first mentioned in 1226. Historically a market town, in the Middle Ages, Adare boasted three monasteries. Owing to the influence of the Earls of Dunraven, who built the Adare Manor (now a luxury resort hotel) a strict plan was laid out for the town.

Adare: Ireland's Prettiest Village
On the bank of the River Maigue, Desmond's Castle is a reminder of Adare's importance in the early history of Ireland. These days, however, the village of Adare in County Limerick prides itself as being Ireland's Prettiest Village. In the residential area, one side of the main street is lined with a connected row of thatched cottages, all having flower-filled front gardens. Further on in the commercial area, a vibrant range of solid colors has been freshly applied to the walls of a variety of pubs, shops and restaurants ----- clear evidence of great civic pride and cooperation.

The Kerry Way, Ireland: The Small Village of Sneem
After walking a portion of the Kerry Way Old Kenmare Road, Steve and I were picked up by a taxi and driven to Sneem which is where our self-guided Kerry Way would officially begin. Gretta, owner of Rockville House B&B, threw our sopping wet clothes from that miserable boat ride in her dryer and lit a fire in the sitting room to warm us.
Sneem is a small town in County Kerry that lies on a portion of Sneem River. Sneem consists of two squares called the North Village and South Village and its Irish town name means The Knot in English (more about that in the video). Filled with Sullivans and O'Sullivans, a large Gathering will be held in June so if your family is either one of these, there's still time to participate in the Gathering and help Sneem set a Guinness Book of Records.

The History Of Adare Manor (We Stayed With Famous People!!!) (6.21.11)
We had high tea and took a little tour of the manor house at which we were staying! There is a lot of history there! here is a little snippet from the web site of the house check it out for yourself!
If a passer by had stopped to look at the Dunraven family home in the 1830s he would have seen a typical Georgian house. Returning twenty years later, he would have found that modest structure had disappeared and been replaced by the exceptional Neo-Gothic Manor that stands to this day. Staring at its towers, bays and steep roofs, he might have wondered what prompted such a great change. It is unlikely he would have guessed the reason, for the Manor owes its existence to one of the most excruciating ailments of that time. The 2nd Earl of Dunraven, an active outdoors man, had been laid low by gout, and confined to indoors. His wife, Lady Caroline, had encouraged him to embrace this immense undertaking to distract him from the pain of the disease. It was a distraction that would develop and mature into the next generation.
When Lord Dunraven began to rebuild his home, he conceived a grand architectural scheme brimming with vigorous imagination and peppered with eccentricity. To marshal his taste for eclecticism and keep it in step with the principles of a beautiful house, the services of a front rank architect were required. The Earl chose James Pain whose technical flair and ability were indisputable.
The house is initially reminiscent of a chateau, but many of its features are shared by great residences of the era in Britain and Ireland. Mysteriously, the Manor is laid out as a Calendar House. 365 stained windows and 52 chimneys mark the annual tally of days and weeks. Sleuthing visitors may be able to spot references to the 7 days of the week and 12 months of the year. Although there are other examples of such buildings, they are rare, and no one is certain why the Earl determined on this symbolism. This allusive quality is heightened by discreet gargoyles and French or Latin mottoes graven on secluded walls.
Records indicate that the Earl was prone to changing his mind. As a result, when he died in 1850, the Manor still stood incomplete, compelling his son to return home from Britain to complete what his father had begun. With a new generation came zest and focus. The 3rd Earl decided to commission an innovative new architect, Philip Charles Hardwick, whose remit also ran to laying out the garden.
Flanked by mature coppices, and the river bank, Hardwick's formal garden runs from the southern aspect of the Manor towards the lush parkland beyond. Lording over Hardwick's botanic ensemble looms the notable Cedar of Lebanon. This hoary old Samson had already seen out 200 years when Hardwick set to work beneath its branches. Nothing, not even the Manor itself, can claim primacy over it.
