Pre-Raphaelite Treasure to Discover
Ekaterinburg Says: One of the many surprises this small town will deliver to you is a stained glass window by that most pre-raphaelite of the pre-raphaelites, Burne Jones. This treasured window is immediately on your left as you come through the cathedral's main entrance. It's composition is...
Some less obvious buildings of interest
GeoV Says: Lismore, like other Irish towns, has a number of attractive 19th century (and sometimes earlier) buildings. Some may be rather anonymous, others are shop frontages which have escaped the 'development' and 'improvement' that too many of their British counterparts have...
Dabs Says: Lismore Castle is not open to the general public but it's worth a detour to see it anyway as its setting overlooking the Blackwater River is magnificent and the castle is obviously well kept as it's still home to the Duke of Devonshire. The castle has been the Duke of...
Ekaterinburg Says: If you find yourself in Lismore and don't have the time or inclination to visit the Castle Gardens or Lismore Castle Art, then at the very least take the walk down to the castle gatehouse. This is directly en-route to the gardens and is only two minutes from the Millenium...
Park Life: Back to the Present.
Ekaterinburg Says: Sometimes in Lismore, it can be a little difficult to wrench yourself back into the present, so for my penultimate Thing-to Do I'd like to move back into the 21st century. The Millennium Park is brand new, opened in May 2002 by President McAleece. It's in the very heart of...
The Obligatory Heritage Centre.
Ekaterinburg Says: Lismore's heritage centre is a good one and situated as it is, smack bang in the centre of town, it's impossible to miss. In fact this would be entirely the correct place to start off your visit to Lismore, if it's your first time. The centre has several galleries where you...
Ekaterinburg Says: When you leave the cathedral, immediately to your right is Deanery Hill. Walk down this hill and at the end you will see signposts to 'Lady Louisa's Walk'. This walk, supposedly following in the footsteps of Lady Louisa, will bring you through picture pretty locations out...
The Chancel - An elegant cathedral interior.
Ekaterinburg Says: The Chancel is my favourite part of the cathedral interior. It is kept locked apart from services and maybe the fact that I've never actually been inside, increases the magic. Standing outside, peering through an ornately carved oak screen, what you see is truly magical....
The cathedral - Elegy in a Country Churchyard
Ekaterinburg Says: Yes, Lismore has a cathedral. Not the vast, imposing type, more the intimate and unbelievably pretty type. Come and see for yourselves. The first wonderful thing about Lismore Cathedral is the setting. Maybe you remember the country church in the movie '4 Weddings and a...
O'Briens chop house: seafood lovers come here!!!
goodfoodlover Says: This is a very special place. The food is out of this world. The restaurant is olde world with a modern twist, and the staff are very friendly and work very hard. we have come here three times and each time has been gastro paradise. this is a perfect place for a quiet dinner...
O'Briens Chop House: Wow what good food
great_golf_weather Says: Ambience was excellent, from the first step inside. Starters were excellent. Steak is to die for, from a craft butcher across the street, but the puddings.....the rhubarb crumble was one of the best desserts we have tried in ages, all of us tried it and wished we had more to...
Foley's on the Mall: Lunch in Lismore
Dabs Says: We stopped by the tourist office to get a recommendation for lunch, they had menus for many of the local restaurants there. It was a bit early for lunch and several places weren't open until 12:30pm so we settled on Foley's. We were the 1st lunch patrons of the day, I think...
Foley's On The Mall: Pub/Restaurant - Exellent Combo
Ekaterinburg Says: Foley's on the Mall is at the junction of Main Stret and The Mall and definitely caters to all tastes. You can have a drink there, a snack or a full meal. The menu is broad and their home-made soupsand pies are something of a delicacy. You can economise with the home made...
Ekaterinburg Says: Barca is almost as much an experience as it is a restaurant. After you get over the shock of finding- YES, A TAPAS BAR- in downtown Lismore, then getting in there to check it out becomes essential. From the elegant wine bar at the front, through the waiting area in the...
Lismore Books: Books and Paintings
Ekaterinburg Says: This is the only shop in Lismore that I shop regularly in, probably because I almost always visit on a Sunday. This is a large book/art supplies/stationary shop and a real treasure trove for booklovers et al. I always buy three secondhand paperbacks here, taking advantage...
Ekaterinburg Says: The Mall was one of Lismore's most fashionable streets, perfect for the hoi and not-so -hoi-polloi to take a leisurelystroll on.Today, although blighted by cars parked on both sides, The mall is still a lovely walk by any standards. The nicest thing about strollong here is...
The Blackwater Valley - Deep in the Country
Ekaterinburg Says: Lismore is set in the heart of the Blackwater Valley, an area of lush green fields and woodland where huge trees droop over the meandering Blackwater River. This type of domain is not dramatic or spectacular -no mountain peaks or rugged coastline. It could be described as...
Ride 'em Cowboy! -This is Horse Country
Ekaterinburg Says: The whole area around Lismore is Horse Heaven - as we just saw with Monty's pass, they breed 'em keen here. You will pass many stud farms on this route and even quite small houses, frequently have a pony or two or three cantering around in the nearby fields. If you are a...
Ekaterinburg Says: If you come to Lismore from Cork, you will turn off before Fermoy and from then on the little country roads will provide an ongoing panorama of sights to delight you. One of the finest of these is the little village of Conna, a truly charming village which seems set in a...
Guess what's Just Around the Corner
Ekaterinburg Says: Lismore is a delight and a totally satisfying travel experience. As with most of usVTers, finding out what's just round the next corner is always an ongoing surprise. Lismore isnot a bigtown but it;s not that small either and wherever you decide to wander I guarantee you...

Lismore, Haven for travel Writers
Lismore is not on the main tourist trail (although signposted on the N72 to Killarney) and remains relatively unknown to visitors from other countries. On VT for example, there has not been one single...

I found it rather amusing, just weeks after we returned from Ireland, and my husband hands me a copy of the September Vanity Fair featuring Lismore Castle and asks me if we've been there. I guess...
