County Limerick forms part of the rich plain known as the Golden Vale. To the south-east the Galtee mountains reach into County Limerick from neighbouring County Tipperary. Limerick city, where the River Shannon becomes tidal, is an important port and industrial centre. Many 12th century churches can be found throughout Limerick and The Hunt Museum houses a fine collection of Irish and European religious art. Adare Village a few miles from Limerick City is billed as the prettiest village in Ireland. Restored in the 1820's by the Earl of Dunraven the long narrow village street is a picture of neat stonework and thatch roofs
