Just show me County Tipperary Cottages
Unlike the lyrics of the famous music hall song, it's not a long way to Tipperary - it is slap bang in the middle of southern Ireland. Scenic sights vary from the green valleys and mystical peak of Slievenamon in the 'south' to the spectacular shores of Lough Derg in the 'north'. Add top-class sightseeing, fantastic outdoor activities, heritage towns and a generous sprinkling of Tipperary holiday rentals.
Tipperary - Ireland's biggest inland county!
Unravel secrets from the region's past in a wealth of ancient sites - ones not-to-miss include Holycross Abbey, Roscrea Castle, the beautifully preserved Cahir Castle and the extraordinary Rock of Cashel - Ireland's iconic landmark, featuring a medieval castle, cathedral, round tower and remains of two churches.
Take a walk on the wild side in Glengara Wood, home to fallow deer, pheasants and red squirrels. Or stretch your legs in the Glen of Aherlow, a lush, winding valley some sixteen miles long - there's a walking festival here every spring and you might like to plan your Tipperary cottage holiday then. Or even the Nire Valley Walking Festival held in October.
Kids will love the caverns of Mitchelstown Cave and also the authentic thatched buildings in Cashel Folk Village. Or take them to the Bru Boru Heritage Centre to learn about local music, song, dance and theatre.
What else? Gaelic Games, world-class golf, wintertime horse racing at Thurles, local pottery, antiques and the Cashel Summer Festival - a great time to book a Tipperary cottage holiday, with outdoor concerts, literary events, art exhibitions and lots more!
