Adare - my hometown in Ireland
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

Adare is my hometown in Ireland. My real hometown is a small village in Germany. It was a pleasure for me to create a cache in Adare.
With this Multi-Cache I want to show you some nice places and historic buildings in Adare.
Enjoy the small walk and please visit some of the “stages”.
Adare's origin is as a settlement by a crossing point on the river Maigue. It is situated 16 km (10 mi) from Limerick City. Renowned as one of Ireland's prettiest villages,[3] Adare is designated as a Heritage Town by the Irish government. Due to its origin as village of the Dunraven estate, Adare has a more planned appearance than many Irish villages and towns.
The ancient town lay upon the eastern bank of the Maigue near a ford (crossing point) in the region known as Ardshanbally (derived from Ard an tSeanbhaile - 'high ground of the old town'), about half-a mile from the modern town on the western side. Historically a market town, in the Middle Ages, Adare was a major settlement and boasted three monasteries and a castle (Desmond Castle).
