About Curragh Chase
Curragh Chase Forest Park encompasses over 300 hectares of rolling parkland, mixed woodland, lakes, and an historic arboretum in County Limerick, located approximately 20 kilometers from Limerick city between the towns of Adare and Askeaton. The name derives from the Irish word 'Curragh' meaning 'marshy plain,' reflecting the low-lying landscape of this former estate. For three centuries this was the seat of the Hunt/de Vere family, whose legacy survives in the ruined Georgian mansion, the carefully planted arboretum, and the ancient woodland walks that now form one of County Limerick's most popular recreational destinations.
