Nenagh is a small town in the Midlands of Ireland.

It lies between Lough Derg & the Silvermines Mountains and is surrounded by rich farmlands & small hills.
The town is a busy market-town and is about 45 minutes from Limerick and 2 hours from Dublin.

Nenagh is quite old and its Norman castle goes back to c1200.

Sport is quite a big thing in Nenagh: Rugby and especially Hurling are the most played.

The Nenagh river runs into Lough Derg, which is used by sail-boats, windsurfers, motorboats and tourists on barges & houseboats. Lough Derg itself is part of 3 counties: Galway, Clare & North Tipperary and the river Shannon runs right through it.

Nenagh has quite a good music scene, from heavy Metal to Punk to Choral societies and your classic folk.
