Adare

Adare is a village in County Limerick. It is known as the most beautiful village in all of Ireland, although most people call it “the English village,” as it strongly resembles the small villages of Great Britain, with its thatched roof houses and cozy little gardens.

History of Adare

A village restored in the 19th century by the Duraven counts

For many centuries, Adare was owned by the Irish Fitzgerald clan until the Irish rebellions. The village has had its current appearance only since the 19th century, when the Duraven counts decided to restore Adare.

The work took more than 20 years, spanning from 1820 to 1840. They rebuilt the houses, opting for long streets and alternating slate roofs and thatched roofs. The facades are colorful, and the gardens are beautifully planted.

Today, the village has preserved its renovations and has become one of the most beautiful villages in the region.
