Adare is regarded as one of Ireland’s most picturesque villages, with thatched cottages dotted throughout the town. John Wesley preached to the people of Adare in 1765 from the shade of an ash tree close to the east wall of the Franciscan Friary. Today, a stone marks the site where this tree stood.

St. Patrick’s is adorned with funeral monuments, including the grave of Jonathan Swift (author of Gulliver’s Travels). In 1789, Wesley led many Dublin Methodists to the Cathedral for the administration of Holy Communion. Stop at the site of Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church, the first Methodist chapel in Ireland. Stop at St. Mary’s Church, where John Wesley’s first sermon was preached in Ireland at what was called Evening Prayer in St. Mary’s Church to “as gay and senseless a congregation as ever I saw.” Stop for lunch (included) at the Church Pub, a church Wesley preached at in Ireland. This afternoon, visit Trinity College, which houses the 9th-century Book of Kells.
