Boher Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Boher
Boher is a small rural locality in east County Limerick, positioned between the larger settlements of Annacotty, Caherconlish, Cappamore and Murroe. It has a countryside character, with scattered homes, farmland and quiet local roads, while Limerick city and Castletroy remain accessible for employment, education and larger-scale shopping. Day-to-day living is peaceful and community-oriented, although residents generally travel to nearby villages or the city for most services. Schooling is available in surrounding parishes, with primary options in Boher and neighbouring communities and secondary schools concentrated around Limerick, Castletroy and nearby towns. The area is car-dependent, with access to the R445 and the M7 helping commuters reach Limerick, Nenagh and other destinations; buses and rail services are more readily available in nearby urban centres. Local social life centres on parish facilities, GAA activity and traditional pubs in surrounding villages, while restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and healthcare services are found in Annacotty, Castletroy, Caherconlish and Limerick city. Residents also have convenient access to the University of Limerick area, Plassey Park, riverside walks and a broad range of sports and leisure facilities.
