While we love a good trip across the seas, the reality is that we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world so we decided to take a moment and appreciate some of the fantastic spots on this fair isle.
From Donegal to Dublin, we are taking an all-Ireland cyber roadtrip to find out what makes each county unique and highlight a few hidden gems that only the locals might know about.
This week, we’re off to Tipperary!
If you’re heading to Tipp, the Rock Of Cashel has to be on your list. Long before the Norman invasion, the Rock was the seat of the High Kings of Munster and most of the buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries. This is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe and definitely worth a visit!
Cahir Castle is one of Ireland’s largest and best preserved castles and is situated on a rocky island on the River Suir. If you’re a sports fan, take a trip to Semple Stadium for the next GAA match or look out for the Nenagh Players, who have gained a reputation as one of the best drama groups in the country.
But don’t listen to us… here’s what the locals had to say!

@Herdotie The view from Millennium Cross near Portroe is amazing. The lake and mountains are worth the hike up there. pic.twitter.com/gfmpk8vxDU
