North Circular Road Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About North Circular Road
North Circular Road is an established inner-north Limerick neighbourhood, running between the city centre and the Ennis Road side of the city, with convenient links towards Clonmacken and the south side via the city’s bridges. It is predominantly residential, combining mature streets, period houses and newer apartment or townhouse development, and has a settled, community-oriented feel close to the city’s amenities. Residents are within walking distance or a short bus journey of the city centre’s shops, offices, restaurants and cultural attractions. Nearby education includes Crescent College Comprehensive on the south side, St Munchin’s College and primary schools around the northside and city-centre area, with Mary Immaculate College also close by for third-level education. Public transport is mainly bus-based, while the central bus and rail station at Colbert Station provides wider regional connections; the road network gives access towards the N18, M7 and N69. Local day-to-day shopping is available along Ennis Road and in the city centre, with larger supermarkets and retail facilities at nearby Crescent Shopping Centre and Jetland. Residents can choose from city-centre cafés, restaurants and pubs, while local leisure options include the People’s Park, Thomond Park and the University of Limerick’s wider sporting facilities a short journey away. The area is also close to notable landmarks such as King John’s Castle, the Hunt Museum and the Gaelic Grounds, making it practical for both city living and access to Limerick’s cultural and sporting life.
