According to the tourist information, the small town of Adare (/æˈdeɪr/; Irish: Áth Dara, meaning ”ford of [the] oak”) in County Limerick, Ireland, is one of Ireland’s prettiest towns.
When we visited, the weather was, as I guess the weather is most here, rainy with short glimpses of sun. And the village is pretty – with thatched roofs and brightly coloured houses. About 3000 inhabitants, so I felt rather at home – the same size as the village I live in. Above is the main street.
A couple of beautiful churches and monasteries
Old houses …
…and modern ones
The most strange veranda…
The disadvantage with thached roofs…
Despite the rain, we ventured out towards Desmond Castle, on the north bank of the river Maigue. And we were lucky – the sun came through!
I will be away for a couple of days – see you soon!

I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland. Looks pretty. Like your pictures. Have a good trip
I had, thank you!
you’re welcome
Enjoy yout time there. A beautiful spot!
I did, thank you!
Looks gorgeous Ann Christine. Especially those thatched roofs. Putting Adare on my list of places to visit if/ when I get to Ireland 🙂
Oh, I hope you will go – I thought you already had been there?
Prettiest town, indeed! Beautifully captured. 🙂
Thank you, Amy!
Beautiful captures Leya–love the thatched rooftops!
Thank you, Tina. They are lovely – but can be dangerous!
Hi Leya, loved your post. 🍀Have you been to Castletownshend? It’s been my holiday home for 28 years and it’s a little gem.

Thank you! I will pop over when I am back from Bulgaria – have never been to Castletownshend😀
It does look like a beautiful town. And it seems to be full of history and cultural traditions. I might have to find my way ti Adare one day. 🙂
Maybe…! We found many lovely little villages and towns in Ireland and will return someday too.
It’s indeed very pretty. I fell in love with Adare right away on my first visit. Lovely impressions from beautiful Ireland, Ann-Christine!
Thank you, Dina! Despite the weather – lovely!
That IS a beauty, even on a stormy day (which is a good thing, I guess, with the Irish weather.) 🙂 Enjoy your days away.

Thank you, Janet. Rain in Sofia, but a charming visit.
Another lovely glimpse of Ireland!

Underbara små hus med fina färger. Är det halmtak på en del? Besökte Läsö för många år sedan och där fanns tak av tång som liknade dessa.
Jo det är halm – i sista bilden har ett sådant brunnit. Faran med sådana snygga tak…Var ligger Läsö?
Mellan Göteborg och Fredrikshamn. En liten dansk ö som var väldigt mysig då för 40 år sedan.
Hur är den nu tro?
Fantastic Photos Leya.
Ciao, Pat
Thank you so much! Missing summer now…
Indeed a charming place.
Early in the morning – a quiet walk!
Looked like a nice stroll in Adare, and it does look very pretty. Quiet places are one of the most relaxing, and looks like the sky turned out very happy to see you in the end. Like a walk through another time 🙂 Hope you have a good couple of days 🙂
Thank you, Mabel!
You are welcome. Viveka and I were just talking about you on your blog on her post, about how nice a friend you are 😊
That sounds nice! Thank you – and so are you!
Very pretty.
😊
