THE Mustard Seed Country House, with its distinctive yellow colour, can be spotted from Knockfierna Hill. From there, you can see breathtaking views of Ballingarry, Thomond Park, the new Eli Lilly pharmaceutical plant in Limerick city and even five Munster counties.

Knockfierna, with its walking trail and famine cottages, was the next stop on the way to Newcastle West, where the annual show takes place on its new date of Sunday, June 23rd.
