Paddy wagon Tour
... Joe told us many stories about the landscape and the history of the area. We passed the fields where "Braveheart" was filmed. At Cahir Castle we had a short guided tour from Anne Kennedy, and then we were allowed to wander around the grounds a bit. I ...
The Adventure Begins!
... , and marveled from a distance at the Rock which we had visited previously. It is truly one of the wonders of Ireland. We drove back to Cahir and wandered around the pretty little town. By the time we were hungry, the pubs and restaurants were no longer ...
Cahir, Swiss Cottage, Rock of Cashel
... the centuries is nice as some of the rooms have been set up as they may have been in medieval times. The Swiss Cottage (a la Ireland not north London) is a quaint cottage built by the same family who are of the line of the Cahir castle folk (the Butlers). ...
Confused debates, tired drivers - Ireland, Day 1
... the Tipperary Tesco but they were out of the cheaper ones and I don’t need a lot of technology when I’m in Ireland. We stumbled on, exhausted to Cahir. It was noon and way too early to be checking in to a B&B but I saw Breda just as she ...
Easter
Dan and I headed down to Ballintubber in Co. Limerick for Easter with our cousins. Mick took us to the old family house/farm at mountain foot (the foot of the galtee mountains) and gave us a handle on our family history both in the region and in ...
CASTLES!
So, today, we got up EARLY (okay, only like eight-ish) to go to the Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle. Very cool! Cashel was like an hour and a half ish from here, and Cahir only like 2 km from there. Cashel was a bunch of ruins, really, though ...

I Do Like Castles
... whole way, that we happened on a small town called Cahir, that had one of the most intact medieval castles in Ireland, a ruined abbey & A SMALL AFFORDABLE CASTLE HOTEL! She certainly was grumpy and dispirited! I went to ask about accommodation ...
Castle hunting through the Irish snow mountains
... fun when you have to learn to drive on the opposite side of the road and also from the "passenger" side of the car. Ireland also was experiencing it's worse winter weather in over 40 years and many of the roads were treacherous and single lanes, but it ...
Battle scene for King Arthur!!
... like nice visitors, she ran back in to give the woman what we owed. Located on a rocky island on the banks of the River Suir, Cahir Castle seemed to grow out of the stone, which is how it was meant to look to thwart enemies who did not know which part ...
Farrenwick
... and after a few passes up and down the main street, the Brian Boru Pub. Good food and a lot of it! We made it back to Farrenwick and watched Father Ted on TV. I'ld already seen the episode but it made it funnier to actually be watching it in ...
Ag show, combine meeting, castle viewing...
... have a chance to get down to see it up close, it seemed to be over when we left the Castle site. After Cashel we headed for Cahir, down the Motorway (120km/hr) seems like a raceway after going 60-70 most of the time. We found our B&B and then went ...
random englishmen
Jackie and I headed off to Cahir for the night and ended up spending the night in a rather chilly hostel with three random english guys. We grabbed some dinner in town and then headed off to find the hostel. Apparently ...
