The Travels of Joseph Woods, Architect and Botanist, in 1809 (Author: Joseph Woods)

entry 21

27th. Being Sunday I went to Meeting and afterwards delivered my letters to Joseph Harvey109 who invited me to take up my quarters at his house which I readily accepted. Between the meetings I walked about Limerick and up to the top of the Tower of the Cathedral110 — the only one in Limerick; whence is a very good view of the City and of the Fertile vale of the Shannon. There are [p. 98] considerable remains of the town walls and of an old castle,111 and a little way over the bridge on the road to Quinpool these objects unite into a very picturesque whole.
