Nora The Explorer!!

Watch this space- from Monday onwards we will be handing our blog over every week to Nora the Explorer..

Nora the Explorer as she is known is a guest of ours who has recently returned to Ireland from abroad. Such was her delight when she discovered a hotel located on the very spot of the Premier Dairies Factory that she checked in straight away. Many happy memories from an era long gone.

Nora will be staying with us at the Ardmore Hotel for the next six months and plans to pack as much into those six months as possible.

Nora intends to discover North Dublin as it is now. Starting with a trip to Glasnevin Museum and Cemetery. She has agreed to share her voyage of discovery with our guests and will update the blog as she goes. Visits will include the many attractions that are within easy distance of the Ardmore Hotel. We have recommended some but I am sure that there will be many more that we havent thought of- perhaps you can give her some advice? Sometimes we take for granted the many terrific places on our doorstep.

So far on the list after the Museum & Cemetery have been explored are The Botanic Gardens, Croke Park Stadium, Dublin Zoo, the Phoenix Park, National Aquatic Centre, Farmleigh House, Aras an Uachtarain, Charlestown, Finglas village, the local Farmers Market in Glasnevin Industrial Estate, Dublinia, Hurly Burly for the neices and nephews and obviously a trip to Dublin City to visit all the City has to offer. The list goes on... Sign up to our blog for the first of many adventures from Nora the Explorer...
