Sarsfield Bridge - Limerick Ireland
Sarsfield Bridge is a historic bridge, having been built around 1827. Until the late 1980s, it was the main road bridge in the city. It is rather grander than the Thomond bridge, being wider and having balusters along the parapets, between which the river can be seen. Graceful lamp-posts adorn the walls.

THOMOND SWIM 2019 RESULTS :
We are now into 12th annual Thomond Swim. Each year the numbers continue to grow as does open water participation. This year we didn’t have the hot weather but over 91 swimmers took to the 14.5 degree water and swam through our historic city. A big thank you as always to Limerick Marine Seach & Rescue for the boat cover along with the support of Limerick Kayak Club. The Civil Defence provided the welcome shower & finishing tents. Again we had the support of St Michaels Boat Club for the event we are very grateful for their support each year in opening up their club to the swimmers.
We remember our former Coach John Dempsey RIP today who now doubt is now analyzing those results with some of the former great coaches who have gone before us. John was instrumental in driving the revival of the Thomond Swim having swam many times in the original and then took on the challenge of the new route so many years later.
We had plenty of food to recharge the batteries afterwards at Shannon Boat Club, with it’s stunning vista of the route.
The Thomond Swim covers a distance of 1800m and is a qualifier for the Liffey and Harbour Swims in Dublin. It is a handicapped start and is open to wetsuit and non wetsuit competitors.
Spectators are encouraged to come and support the swimmers with the best vantage points along Clancy Strand, O’Callaghan Strand, Sarsfield bridge and Howley’s quay.
Through the sponsorship of Shannon Group and safety support of Limerick Marine Search and Rescue, swimmers of all ages from 16 upwards complete for first, second and third place non wetsuit male and female prizes, first wetsuit male and female and fastest overall male and female swimmers.

Thomond Bridge (hornpipe)
Although this tune is really in F (for what that means) I follow the lead of many flute players and other sensible musicians and play it in G. Thomond Bridge is a historic bridge over the Shannon in Limerick, built in 1838, a modern part of King John's castle, built in 1205. I don't know the vintage of the tune, but it's younger than the bridge, for sure.
This is hornpipe number 51 of my 52-week home recording project. Thanks for listening!

Limerick City - County Limerick - Ireland
Balade dans la ville de Limerick - Comté de Limerick - Irlande
Limerick est la troisième ville en importance d'Irlande. C'est une ville dynamique et elle possède de nombreux bâtiments culturels et historiques.
Nous avons décidé d'entreprendre une balade d'environ 3 heures pour parcourir les rues de la ville.
Nous sommes donc partis à pied de notre hôtel et avons marché sur Dock Road. Par la suite, nous nous sommes promenés sur une belle promenade érigée en bordure de la rivière Shannon.
L'endroit est paisible et plusieurs personnes s'y rendent pour nourrir les cygnes qui y sont d'ailleurs très nombreux.
Toujours en longeant la rivière Shannon, il est possible d'avoir une jolie vue du King John's Castle, une des attractions majeures de la ville de Limerick.
Ce château a été érigé au XIIIe siècle et il est situé dans le quartier médiéval de la ville. Des frais d'entrée de 10,50 € sont exigés pour la visite du château.
Nous n'avons pas pu visiter le château car nous sommes arrivés après l'heure de fermeture.
Nous avons fait un arrêt à la Cathédrale Ste-Marie (St Mary’s Cathedral). Construite en 1168, elle est le plus ancien bâtiment de la ville.
Cependant, comme nous sommes arrivés sur le tard, les portes de la cathédrale étaient fermées à clé. Donc, nous nous en sommes tenus à la visite extérieure de ce monument historique.
Juxtaposé à la cathédrale, le cimetière comporte certains caveaux qui datent de quelques siècles et on y retrouve également de belles croix celtiques.
Dommage que nous n'ayons pu visiter l'intérieur de la cathédrale car cette dernière est réputée entre autres pour la beauté de ses vitraux.
Nous avons poursuivi notre route jusqu'au King John's Castle. Dans ce secteur se trouvent d'autres belles maisons d'époque.
Nous avons continué sur Bridge Street pour traverser sur l'autre rive de la rivière Shannon et ainsi avoir une vue pittoresque du King John's Castle et du Thomond Bridge.
Près de la rivière se trouve le fameux bloc de pierre calcaire qui repose sur un socle et sur lequel le traité de Limerick aurait été signé en 1691.
D'ailleurs un panneau explicatif donne des informations sur ce fameux traité.
A proximité, on retrouve également la St Munchin's Church, église construite au début du XIXe siècle.
Nous sommes revenus sur nos pas et avons aperçu sur notre route un pan de mur qui appartenait à la Bourke's House, un ancien manoir médiéval. Il serait l'un des lieux les plus anciens de la ville.
Nous avons également vu l'église Ste-Marie érigée vers 1930 ainsi que le Hunt Museum, un musée d'art et d'antiquité.

LIMERICK KING JOHN'S CASTLE 13th-century riverside fortress 10 JUNE 2013
Limerick - Luimneach (in Irish Gaelic) - King John's Castle, as seen from Thomond Bridge, filmed at 7:22 P.M. on a windy and cloudy day, June 10, 2013. King John's Castle (in Irish Gaelic: Caisleán Luimnigh: Is caisleán suite i gContae Luimnigh cois na Sionainne é Caisleán Luimnigh.) is a 13th-century castle located on King's Island in Limerick, Ireland, next to the River Shannon. Although the site dates back to 922 when the Vikings lived on the Island, the castle itself was built on the orders of King John in 1200. It is one of the best preserved Norman castles in Europe, the walls, towers and fortifications remain today and are visitor attractions. The remains of a Viking settlement were uncovered during archaeological excavations at the site in 1900. Between 2011 and 2013, the castle underwent a massive redevelopment, with €5.7 million spent to improve the visitor facilities of the castle. Among the improvements were a brand new visitor centre, interactive exhibitions with computer generated animations, and a cafe with views onto the courtyard and the river. Limerick (po irlandzku Luimneach) - Zamek Króla Jana, nadrzeczna forteca z XIII wieku, jeden z najlepiej zachowanych zamków normańskich w Europie, zachowały się znakomicie jego mury, wieże i fortyfikacje. Tutaj sfilmowany z mostu Thomond nad rzeką Shannon o 19:22 w wietrzny i pochmurny dzień, 10 czerwca 2013.
