Ballingarry Walking Tour #1

The popular festival of architecture, Open House Limerick, is celebrating its 10th year in Limerick City and County with the 2021 theme ‘Architecture is Reconnecting’. To reduce the number of large gatherings, the events will be staggered over a number of weeks with initial proceedings commencing during Heritage Week, which runs this year from Saturday August 14th to Sunday August 22nd. The Open House Limerick weekend will run from the 29th - 31st October 2021.In recognition of the isolation shared over the past 18 months, Open House Limerick 2021 will be reconnecting visitors and participants to their built heritage, local contemporary architecture and shining a spotlight on lesser known well-designed public places in their area. In addition, Open House Limerick will engage with designers and architects to commission a new pavilion as a space of reconnection.All events, which are free of charge, will either be held outdoors, self-guided or presented online.

Join Open House Limerick on the Open Road and Make a Day of it in Ballingarry for Hallowe’en on Sunday 31st October 2021. Open House Limerick and Ballingarry Development Association have joined forces to bring you a unique Hallowe’en Heritage Tour in Ballingarry. Each tour commences in the Old Graveyard, Main Street, Ballingarry, where you will see the final resting place of the last man killed in a duel in Limerick, hear the story and see the grave of the daughter of a Liverpool Bishop and the McCarthy Mausoleum. The McCarthy Mausoleum recently received funding TW @HeritageHubIRE FB @TheHeritageCouncil INS @theheritagecouncil for conservation works, and this impressive tomb with particularly fine example of 19th Stonework is one of our destinations for our tour. The original lead door, still in place, will be sealed after this event, so this is an exceptional opportunity to enter the chamber.The Hallowe’en Heritage Tour continues on foot to Ballingarry Castle, a medieval L-shaped castle. Soak up the atmosphere and learn about the bloody siege that took place in 1569, the regular ghostly sightings, and the military negotiation techniques of the time. While you’re there, see if you can spot where a cannonball struck the wall.If you need a little more atmosphere after the OHL Hallowe’en Heritage Tour, why stay in Ballingarry a little longer to visit the traditional hilltop bonfire to mark Samhain on Knockfierna from 6pm. Why not stay in Ballingarry a little longer to visit the traditional hilltop bonfire to mark Samhain on Knockfierna from 6pm.
