Vacation Rentals in Munster

Munster is the southernmost province of Ireland, consisting of the counties of Cork, Clare, Limerick, Kerry, Waterford and Tipperary, and is situated on the Iveragh Peninsula. Nearest airports are Cork, Kerry and Shannon.

Munster is scenically characterised by green meadows, narrow coastal roads and wide sandy beaches with a surprisingly warm sea. The Killarney National Park is also located in the Irish province, which has more than a hundred square kilometres of three lakes, a lush green landscape, waterfalls, mosses, lichens and ferns as well as large oak forests.

Castle ruins and whole castles can be seen in large quantities in Munster. The Blarney Castle in the village of the same name, about nine kilometres away from Cork, is a particularly worth seeing building. The castle, which was still made of wood in the 10th century and replaced by a stone building in the 13th century, was once the residence of King Dermot McCarthy. Today the keep of the building is still preserved, where the "Stone of Eloquence", a large castle garden, a druid circle, a wishing staircase and the witch's cave are located.

Be sure to visit the village of Dingle, which National Geographic says is the most beautiful place in the world. The centre is dotted with colourful houses, small shops and beautiful pubs. Visit the beach and the dolphin, considered the most famous inhabitant. And don't forget the camera when you visit the nearby Cloghar Cliffs.

The Catherine Hammond Gallery in West Cork is considered one of the hottest art galleries in the region. The exhibition shows changing exhibitions of Irish artists who have already made a name for themselves regionally and nationally.
