Ireland’s Ancient East all begins right here in County Tipperary, in this gorgeous green landscape. The tracks, trails, and most importantly tales of Ireland’s Ancient East are prevalent at every turn in historic County Tipperary and neighbouring counties with so many points of interests along the way waiting to be rediscovered.

Journey through time at The Rock of Cashel which stands out as being one of Ireland’s most fascinating archaeological sites and once the traditional seat of the Kings of Munster and a must visit during stay with us. Explore magnificent Holycross Abbey, a restored Cistercian abbey on the scenic River Suir not far from us in Co. Tipperary. Head further south and witness a one-of-a-kind piece of extraordinary history – Lismore Castle.  It is an absolute must for tourists to explore the grounds of this beautiful castle built by King John in 1185.

There are many ancient and historic castles waiting to rediscover with tales of battle, betrayal, bravery heroes and much more. Visit the acclaimed Bunratty Castle in County Clare, the most complete and authentic castle in Ireland and go back in time and explore the ‘living’ village and rural setting of Bunratty Folk Park.  On route to County Clare be sure to step inside the walls of Limerick’s most iconic landmark, King John’s Castle where over 800 years of dramatic history is brought to life.
