The scenic lakeshore Heritage Centre and Parklands of Lough Gur is a short drive from Limerick city. The visitor centre overlooks the tranquil water and hosts a modern interactive exhibition that captures the story of the unique environmental and archaeological treasures that can be found within the sprawling grounds. Home to Ireland’s oldest and largest stone circle and only expansive lake in Limerick, Lough Gur offers an ideal location for a picnic during summer time and a brisk nature walk throughout the year.

Children will enjoy exploring the homeplace of Lough Gur fairies. They can also hunt for all native Irish tree species that are cleverly mapped out on a Tricky Tree Trail. Everyone of all ages will find opportunities for adventure and exploration.

Lough Gur Heritage Centre offers a wide range of guided or self guided tours of Ireland’s only site where evidence from every age of human kind is found in one place.
