| welcome to lismore the winner of the national tidy towns 2004 on the woodlined river blackwater, which, unlike
ourselves, cannot stop to admire the beauty of Lismore and the ducal
castle that salutes it from above. Lismore’s history is inextricably linked
with the Church, from St. Carthage’s Monastery in the sixth century to the
Cathedral named in his honour a thousand years later, a story beguilingly
told at the Heritage Centre in the town. At the centre visitors can stroll
through the recently refurbished exhibition gallery where you can come
face to face with the historic figures who shaped Lismore Town through the
ages with characters such as Sir Walter Raleigh, Richard Boyle and the
Dukes of Devonshire. Find out about the ancient treasures of Lismore,
meet Monks, Vikings and Normans, and see how Lismore evolved through
the ages. Learn about Robert Boyle (Boyle’s Law) who was born at Lismore.
