Dungarvan
Dungarvan Town is usually a favourite with visitors. It's not one of these tourist places geared to providing an "Oirish" experience.
Instead, it's a real place - bustling, busy with locals and visitors going about their normal business. "Craft" shops? There aren't any. But, great gift shops, clothes shops, knicky-knack places that local people really use all abound.
Yet, without the staged look of a tourist town, the place has real charm. Take a 3 block walk and you get a river walk, ocean vistas, medieval lanes, a thriving square, an art museum, medieval castle, local history museum, Dungarvan Bay, a marina, outstanding restaurants, pubs, butchers and bakers. The works!
During your visit to Dungarvan you can watch handmade stained glass being designed and made, buy objects created from historic Irish slate, play paintball, drive a rally car for a day, buy paintings from Dungarvan artists Jim Lawn or Eveleen Power and maybe even listen to the music of Donal Power, a local singer songwriter..
