This view of the Franciscan Friary in Adare shows two curiosities. The first is the square plaque in the foreground. This is where John Wesley, an Anglican clergyman and the leader of the Methodist movement, preached to the people of Adare. The event in 1765 was one of the 42,000 sermons he gave while touring 250,000 miles through England, Scotland and Ireland. The second is the circular patch of grass on the right. That is the 14th hole of the Adore Manor Golf Course. To reach this historic landmark, you need permission from the clubhouse and then the ability to dodge golf balls.
