Ardmore is a lovely little fishing village located in west county Waterford approximately 70 kilometers SouthWest of Waterford City.

Lismore, one of the most historic towns in county Waterford, is probably best known for St. Carthage’s Cathedral and for Lismore Castle, the Irish home of the Dukes of Devonshire. It was also once home to Sir Walter Raleigh. In this episode, we talk about the day we spent visiting Ardmore and Lismore and discuss what there is to see and do in the area. (more…)

Just a note to let you know that we haven’t forgotten you all! We have had very inconsistent Internet access (even in the places that claimed to have broadband, WiFi, or an Internet cafe in town).
We are taking notes and gathering information and photos to share with you, but we won’t be able to do that until as late as when we get home in June.
Stay tuned…
