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!
