Accommodation_Waterford Lismore Heritage Centre situated in the former Courthouse is a must for those who wish to experience the rich history of the town itself and its surroundings. Here, the story of Lismore is creatively interpreted in the "Lismore Experience" through the thoughts of Brother Declan, one of the followers of St. Carthage, and the recorded voice of Niall Toibin, one of Ireland's finest actors and entertainers. St. Carthage's Cathedral (Church of Ireland) stands on |
the site of a church built here in 1207. Old gravestones from monastic times would suggest that the site was a place of worship from the time of St. Carthage. Walks in the locality include the Lismore Town Walk and Lady Louisa's Walk which is a beautifully wooded walk along the banks of the Blackwater - all signposted from the Heritage Centre. Although Lismore Castle which is now the Irish residence of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire is not open to the public, Lismore Castle Gardens can be visited.
