About Lismore and it's Environs:
‘Some of the most beautiful rich country ever seen.’
‘We came to Lismore…parks and rocks covered with the grandest
foliage, rich, handsome seats of gentlemen in the midst of fair lawns
and beautiful bright plantations and shrubberies…the prettiest I
have seen in or out of Ireland’
Quotes from Thackeray during his visit to Waterford & Cork
West Waterford and East Cork are undoubtedly some of the most beautiful
areas in all of Ireland, and Lismore is the jewel in its crown.
Founded in 636 by St. Carthage, Lismore, on the banks of the River Blackwater,
became an historic seat of learning for many Kings and Saints and developed
a rich architectural splendour and heritage.
Lismore Castle, birthplace of the celebrated scientist Robert Boyle, and
once home to Sir Walter Raleigh and the dancing feet of Fred Astaire,
is now the Irish Residence of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and their
family.
Apart from its historic importance and natural beauty, Lismore enjoys
excellent services and facilities including the new Blackwater Community
School, the magnificent Millennium Park, excellent shops, restaurants,
cafes & bars, sports facilities and outstanding entertainment and
cultural activities for young and old.
The area is ideal for commuting as it enjoys excellent access to Cork
City (39miles), European Capital of Culture in 2005 and Waterford City
(45 miles), home of the world-famous Waterford Crystal.
Cork International Airport, Waterford Airport, and Shannon Airport (75
Miles) provide excellent links across the world and the seaports of Cork,
Rosslare (95 Miles) and Dun Laoighre (120 Miles) provide connections to
France and the United Kingdom.
Also close by are the blue-flag beaches of Ardmore and Clonea and the
beautiful mountain regions of the Knockmealdown and Nire Valley (perfect
for hill-walking and trekking).
Numerous award-winning restaurants are all within a short drive including
The Glencairn Inn, The Tannery, Ballymaloe House, Richmond House and Hanora’s
Cottage.
