The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage has partnered with Limerick City and County Council to create Wonder Wander Walking Trails.  The Wonder Wander Walking Trails have been developed in collaboration with the local communities.  In addition to well-known public buildings, each trail shines a light on some of the lesser known architectural details and the stories that are associated with these unique places.

The Wonder Wander Walking Trail for Foynes takes in sites associated with its history as a packet station for transatlantic voyages and a terminus for transatlantic flights.  Keep an eye out for the house where it is said the chef, Joe Sheridan, invented the Irish Coffee.  The trail includes several works in the Arts and Crafts style designed by the Limerick-based architect, William Clifford Smith (1881/2-1954), including the post office with its rock faced stone work and the charming terrace of houses known as Criveen Cottages.
