Viking Places to Visit in Limerick
Red Viking Bus Tours, Limerick
Take a tour around the Viking city of Limerick and see the city’s main historical landmarks and sites. The route in an open top Viking bus begins near St Mary’s Cathedral, an old Viking site of a thingmote or assembly, in the heart of the original Viking settlement, and returns along the Shannon banks to Clancy Strand, the site of the first Viking settlement at Curragower. Tours operate from May 1st throughout the season and private tours can be arranged also!
Kilmallock Medieval Town
This town in south County Limerick was one of the most important towns in early medieval times due to its location on the route between Cork and Limerick. It was a walled town guarding castles, gatehouses and magnificent churches. Later it was the seat of the Earls of Desmond and the town was burned during the Desmond rebellion in 1569.
Perhaps less well-known is the fact that Killmallock was the scene of a Viking battle between the Vikings of Limerick and Waterford in 927 where the Waterford Vikings were defeated. This was no mean feat as the Waterford Vikings were under the leadership of Ragnall who had returned to Ireland in 920 to strengthen their coastal hold. Visitors today can see the ruins of the Dominican Priory and the Norman Kings castle, Blossom Gate and the remaining town walls.
