Lismore

I became fascinated with this Irish town a few months ago when I watched the BBC version of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey.  The 'abbey' featured in the film turns out to be, in fact, Lismore Castle.

The gardens were lovely as well. 

The Town Hall had a few small exhibits about its most famous resident - chemist Robert Boyle.  Lismore is a picturesque little town with plenty of beautiful and interesting things to admire.
