Continuing on your tour route, the town of Adare has plenty of activities for discerning families. The main street has many original thatched stone cottages, craft shops and restaurants. Adare is also home to Desmond Castle built more than 300 years ago, the Trinitarian Priory the only recorded Trinitarian monastery in Ireland, the Augustinian Priory and the Franciscan Friary which although in ruins show a remarkable outline of its former elegance. The heritage centre in the centre of the town is a great place to start your Adare exploration.
