    Would anyone have recommendations for a 1st year History trip in the Munster region? Ideally something that would tie in with the First Year course.

    I don't know first year history course but king John's castle in limerick maybe! Norman invasion and all that.

    Munster is quite a wide range
    Suppose you could do the old gaol in Cork city. St. Finbarr's. Shandon bells.
    Ailwee cave in the Burren- isn't there the rounded out den of a bear since the last ice age or something?
    Killarney national park I think has the old farm set up where they explain horse power etc

    Killarney National Park is ideal. Muckross House, Muckross Abbey, the traditional farms etc etc

    You'd cover a big chunk with bunratty, Lough Gur-especially the large stone circle and dolmens and someone mentioned cragganowen. Get onto Shannon heritage for ideas too
