Newcastle West lies in the heart of Munsters great Golden Vale. The town has a history as a Desmond stronghold which has seen many wars and conquests. The town has a great ranges to stop for a refuel and some interesting historical buildings to visit.

One of the most notable features is the Desmond Banqueting Hall and Castle on the southern end of the Main Town Square. This hall was created in the 15th century and used as a venue for frequent and lavish banquets. There is a restored oak galley where musicians would have provided a soundtrack for the lively events below.
