"Although Lismore Castle itself is not open to the public, the 3 hectares of ornate and manicured gardens are well worth a visit. Thought to be the oldest landscaped gardens in Ireland, they are divided into the walled Jacobean upper garden and the less formal lower garden, the latter dotted with modern sculpture including two chunks of the Berlin Wall. Highlights include a splendid yew walk where Edmund Spenser is said to have written The Faerie Queen."
"Cahir's awesome castle enjoys a river-island site with moat, massive walls, turrets and keep, mullioned windows, vast fireplaces and dungeons. Founded by Conor O'Brien in 1142, and passed to the Butler family in 1375, it's one of Ireland's largest castles. In 1599 the Earl of Essex shattered its walls with cannon fire, an event explained with a large model. With a huge set of antlers pinned to its white walls, the Banqueting Hall is an impressive sight; you can also climb the Keep."
"Based on The Tramore Rd in Waterford offers something different to its customers. It offers The Living Café, Furniture & Home Accessories Store and even a cookery school!. The flagship store is based on Sarsfield St Limerick; it has two additional stores in Limerick following its success- based in Corbally and Castletroy."
"Another café that I love to swing by when I'm in Waterford is the Hook & Ladder. It's cute and cosy with a decor most of us would probably die for in our own kitchens. I would definitely recommend one of their cappuccinos or lattes with one of their scones."
