Farranshone Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Farranshone
Farranshone is an established northside Limerick neighbourhood, positioned between the city centre, Ennis Road, Thomondgate and Ballynanty. It is mainly residential, with a practical urban feel and a mix of established houses, apartments and local services close to the River Shannon and the city’s historic northside. Residents are within easy reach of primary and secondary schools, including Scoil Ide and Crescent College Comprehensive, while Limerick city-centre schools and further-education facilities are also accessible. Bus routes along the Ennis Road and nearby streets provide regular city connections, and the area is convenient for commuters using the N18 and N69 road corridors; Limerick Colbert railway station is a short journey away. Day-to-day shopping is centred on nearby local shops and the Ennis Road, with larger retail choices available in the city centre and at Jetland Shopping Centre. Pubs and restaurants around Ennis Road, Thomondgate and the city centre provide a broader choice of casual dining, cafés and evening venues than Farranshone itself. Leisure options include the nearby Gaelic Grounds, Thomond Park, Shelbourne Park and riverside walks, while residents can also use city-centre libraries, gyms and cultural venues. The neighbourhood’s appeal is its proximity to central Limerick without losing the quieter, settled character of a traditional residential district.
