Curraghmore House in Waterford is the historic home of the 9th Marquis of Waterford. His ancestors (the de la Poers) came to Ireland from Normandy after a 100-year stopover in Wales around 1170, or, about 320 years before Columbus ‘discovered’ the New World. Some 2,500 acres of formal gardens, woodland and grazing fields make this the largest private demesne in Ireland and one of the finest places to visit in the whole country. Please contact the locations directly for opening hours. @visit_waterford @discoverireland.ie #MunsterVales #KeepDiscovering #curraghmorehouse #visitwaterford #waterford #beautifulbuildings #discoverireland #failteireland #tourismtogether #makeabreakforit 
#KeepDiscovering magical places in the Munster Vales. Terra Nova is one of Ireland’s best known small, privately owned gardens and is a firm favourite with garden visitors of all ages. A half acre that appears so much larger due to the use of weaving pathways, imaginative features and an ingenious use of space, nothing goes to waste in this lush oasis. A past winner of the prestigious title of “Best Garden in Ireland”, Terra Nova is dynamic, a space that never stands still. The garden has a whimsical quality, full of fairies and magic – be careful though, we hear those fairies are always up to mischief! @ballyhouracountry @discoverireland.ie @terra_nova_fairies #munstervales #keepdiscovering #ballyhouras #terranovagardens #fairies #fairytrail #walkingtrails #makeabreakforit #thegreatoutdoors #tourismtogether #failteireland #tourismireland #discoverireland #staysafe #irelandsancienteast #wanderlust #familyfun

#KeepDiscovering the beauty pf Cappoquin House & Gardens this Bank Holiday Monday. Cappoquin House, is an 18th Century Georgian mansion, built on the site of an old FitzGerald Castle and enjoys magnificent views over the River Blackwater. Here’s the history bit…… The Keane family have lived at Cappoquin for the last 300 years. In 1923 the house was torched during the Civil War. Fortunately much of the furniture had been removed to London. In the ensuing blaze the interiors were destroyed, whilst the South facing exterior, stables and servants’ wing survived. The rebuilding begun in September 1924 and took 6 years to be completed. @visit_waterford @irelandsancienteast @discoverireland.ie #MunsterVales #MunsterValesMoments #KeepDiscovering #IrelandsAncientEast #cappoquinhouse #visitwaterford #thecomeraghs #waterford #ireland #makeabreakforit #tourismtogether #failteireland #staysafe 
#KeepDiscovering ancient settlements in the Munster Vales. Visit Lough Gur and the largest stone circle in Ireland. It comprises of a ring of continuous upright stones up to 2.8m high! On excavation it was found to be littered with late Neolithic Beaker pottery. Its near perfect shape and the discovery of a posthole in the very centre of the enclosure, indicates that the circle was measured out from a central stake with a rope. As we mentioned, it’s the largest standing stone circle in Ireland, 150 feet in diameter and enclosed by 113 standing stones. The largest stone is Rannach Chruim Duibh (Crom Dubh’s Division) and is over 13 feet high and weighs 40 tons! @limerick.ie @discoverireland.ie @ballyhouracountry @visitloughgur #MunsterVales #KeepDiscovering #LoughGur #Limerick #ThisIsLimerick #LoveLimerick #ancientsettlement #stonecircle #ancientireland #discoverireland #failteireland #tourismtogether #makeabreakforit 
#KeepDiscovering new hobbies and interests.

#KeepDiscovering all that the #MunsterVales has to offer this summer. Why not take a day trip to visit the very beautiful Dromana Gate. Dromana Gate is a highly unusual Hindu Gothic gate lodge on the road to quaint Villierstown, County Waterford, built in the 19th Century to mark the marriage of a popular local landlord. It’s the only one of its kind in Ireland. Believe it or not, the gate was originally built from wood and papier mache to greet the owner of the Dromana Estate, Henry Villiers-Stuart and his wife, Theresia Pauline Ott of Vienna, on returning from their honeymoon in 1826. The couple were so enchanted with the gate it was reconstructed in stone in later years. @visit_waterford @irelandsancienteast @discoverireland.ie #MunsterVales #MunsterValesMoments #KeepDiscovering #IrelandsAncientEast #dromanagate #visitwaterford #waterford #ireland #keepdiscovering #makeabreakforit #tourismtogether #failteireland #staysafe

On your bike! 🚵 We are loving this new found freedom, being able to head outside and explore new pastures. One of our favourite outdoor pursuits in the Munster Vales (of which there are many!) is heading out on the mountain bike trails in Ballyhoura. It’s such a rush! And the best part is you can take it at your own pace so it’s suitable for all abilities – whether you want to head off up the mountains or stay at a lower level, the choice is yours! You don’t even need to own a bike, you can rent top of the range bikes from @ballyhouratrailriders. For more information about mountain biking in Ballyhoura visit https://munstervales.com/en/plan-a-trip/trail-riders. 📸 credit to @ballyhouracountry @pure_cork @limerick.ie @ballyhouracountry #MunsterVales #MunsterValesMoments #ballyhoura #ballyhouramountains #mountainbiking #trailriders #purecork #corkireland #countycork #limerick #thisislimerick #ireland #keepdiscovering #makeabreakforit #tourismtogether #walkingtrails #failteiteland #staysafe
