Snuggled in a wooded setting among the rich quiet farmlands of the Golden Vale by the River Maigue, Adare is a model village dating from the time of the Norman conquest. It has been home to the Earls of Dunraven for over three centuries. Adare Heritage Centre is located in the heart of the village and offers a guide through the history of this unique and beautiful area. Adare Heritage Centre hosts

an interactive Historical Exhibition which traces the story of Adare’s many stone buildings and picturesque ruins. Guided tours of Adare Village and Desmond Castle, one of the few remaining authentic Norman Castles in Ireland, are operated from the Centre. The Dovecot Restaurant, the Centre’s 80 seater Bistro, offers breakfast, lunch and tasty homemade cakes. With shopping areas and the village Tourist Office on site, Adare Heritage Centre is a must for every visitor.
