Lough Gur Heritage Centre

Not far from Adare lies Lough Gur, one of Ireland’s most scenic locations, surrounded by a rich archaeological and natural environment. The Visitor Centre overlooks the lake and hosts an exhibition that captures the story of the treasures found in this vast landscape. Home to Ireland’s oldest stone circle and the only expansive lake in Limerick, it’s an ideal location for walks and picnics.

Lough Gur is unique in Ireland, offering visible evidence of human activity from every age since Neolithic times. The Centre provides visitors with detailed information on the surrounding sites and attractions in the area. The Centre’s experienced guides are available to help visitors discover local monuments and sites, including the Grange Stone Circle, built in the Bronze Age. Longer guided walking tours take in the lake and the local countryside, offering a deeper insight into the area’s history and natural beauty.

Lough Gur is suitable for all ages. Children can explore the home of Lough Gur fairies, visit the playground, and hunt for native Irish tree species on the Tricky Tree Trail. Additionally, the site often hosts special events, workshops, and seasonal activities that engage visitors of all ages and interests.
