    thats a bit of good news :)

    what i would do is get the cork bus from limerick and if the weather is good get off at O' rourke's cross and walk the 2K to bruree or if the weather is bad go as far as charleville and get a cab :)

    Well, if it is Bruree House, then that's about 1km south of the village which lengthens the walk...

    Map attached...

    OK - I saw they had planted their Bruree marker on the website map on the main street, but people are not always accurate with these. I don't know the area too well, but the photo of the house on their website looks just like this one....

    ...and using old maps to find 'Bruree House' on this website

    http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,555147,629685,6

    (see the old map by clicking the HISTORIC 6" button at bottom right)

    it seems to me the site might lie 1km south of the village.. but I can't be sure...

    De Valera's cottage is on the Meanus/fedamore road if you go through the village and turn left just after dollery's garage and i think bruree house is further on down that road but i will be able to find out for sure in the morning :)

    It is out the same road as the garden centre which you get to by going up Mill street. It is a nice walk from the village in this weather, let alone from Rourkes Cross.


    Your best option if you have a set time to be there for is to get a bus as far as Rourkes Cross, and then call for a taxi from the shop there.


    But if you are not forced to arrive at a set time. there is a daily bus service that goes into Bruree on it's way to Charleville which is the number 320 from the Limerick train/Bus station. It goes to Bruree twice a day. You would still have to get from the village to the centre, but at least a chunk of the journey would be over with.

    Bugger just noticed you are travelling on a Sunday, that rules out the 320 bus into Bruree as it does not go in there on Sundays, only Monday to Saturday.

    And Mill street is the right hand turn just before the Church and Post office.

    Cuan Mhuire is out the Charleville road so I reckon get off the bus in Charleville, it'll be much easier to get a taxi from there. You can't miss the place, the walls are white with sky blue and there is a security box on the way in...

    It's the old Charleville road that it is on though, and as such could confuse people who don't know the area into thinking that the main road from Limerick to Charleville is the right road.

    Kess is right, its not on the main Charleville road. I checked today for you and you need to go in to bruree , go over the bridge and take the first right, and its about half a mile out that road. Charleville is probably the best place to get a cab too.

    Would be about €6 to €8 cheaper each way to get off at Rourkes cross and get a cab from there though.



    OP, while you may be able to get a bite to eat there, if you cannot, the garden centre next door to it has a little cafe that is open until 18:00 every evening.
