Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Nenagh Area

"From the Castle I headed to the Milk Market which is open during the day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. These markets are a real hub of the city and hold a lot of history seen as it was one of the markets that were opened in the mid to late 1800’s. These days the market is full of fresh, local produce more than likely direct from the producer. I loved the buzz of the market and it was great to see local day-to-day life in action!"

"One of Ireland’s finest farmers’ markets, the Milk Market is a dream for people who care about where their food comes from. The complex was refurbished in the 90s, and sits under a large canopy or “big top” which has become a stage for live music. The big market day is Saturday, when you can buy produce and delicacies from the people who rear, catch, grow or make them."

"Head to this quirky marketplace, a far cry from your regular shopping areas, and you’ll be greeted by an array of traditional, local stalls. You’ll find everything from handcrafts, to sustainable, fresh produce. The best time to see it come alive is the weekend."

"Food & Wine Hall on the city’s main street, O’Connell Street, located on the ground floor of The George Hotel, part of the Savoy Group collection, in the heart of Limerick city’s shopping and restaurant quarter, an original and inspirational new resource for food and wine lovers. Takeaway Coffee and Treats are available along with delicious lunches to go."

"Although you may not think it straight off the bat, Chocolat has an amazing selection of all types of Asian food on their menu. They are part of the group owned by Wokking, The Jasmine Palace and Z-We-Ton so before even tasting it, you know their take on Asian food is going to be good. Fragrant Thai curries, spicy Taiwanese stir fries and yummy Chinese chicken dishes adorn their already spectacular menu and each dish is prepared using fresh ingredients and served in filling, hearty portions."

"Combining the very best in diverse culinary cultures is Chocolat. The flavor of Mediterranean produce, the richness of Asian spices and the tastes of Irish cuisine are all fused to create an intriguing and memorable menu. Food highlights include their country braised lamb shank served with creamy mash or baby potatoes, Spanish paella with mussels, prawns, calamari and salsa verde, and their yan pang chicken."

"Experience 800 years of history with this admission ticket to King John’s Castle in Limerick. Explore this 13th-century fortress at your own pace, discovering its past through the working displays, costumed guides, and interactive Visitor Centre, complete with sophisticated computer animations, 3D models, and touchscreens. Take in views from the tower, see the replica medieval scenes in the courtyard, and relax at the scenic café."

"This famous castle has a brand-new visitor centre with state-of-the-art interpretive activities and exhibitions profiles each aspect of the Castles history from its humble beginnings. The outside courtyard remains as it did in medieval times with sights and sounds bringing you back to the seventeenth century."

"A glance at the Ireland of old is on offer at this riverside, long-ruined castle. Adare Desmond is essentially a shell of the old structure, but there’s enough left to justify tours, and the buildings and their surrounds make for a fantastic slightly off-the-beaten-track exploration. There’s a sacred fairy ring just around the corner, and very little development visible from the sight, giving this a real sense of the Ireland of its 13th century construction."

"Just outside the town of Adare (which we recommend in its own right, see below) Adare Desmond Castle is a 13th-century riverside fortress, now in ruins, sat right next to an ancient ring fort. Regular tours during the summer give an insight into the spot’s revolutionary history while an exhibition gives a sense of life at the castle through the Middle Ages."

"Not an overly impressive sight in its own right, Limerick’s Treaty Stone symbolises an agreement that ended the Williamite War. The truce didn’t last for long, and the events that led to it still echo on. It’s not an overly impressive relic in its own right, but it has fantastic views, a plaque explaining the history (which dates back to 1691) and offers a real sense of stepping back in time."

"The Treaty Stone symbolises the agreement between the Williamites and the Jacobites that ended the Williamite War. The truce did not last long, since there are some tensions lingering. The place can be very lovely to spend some time and learn some history regarding the place."
