    Rock of Cashel

    Your first stop is the spectacular Rock of Cashel, one of Ireland's most important historic landmarks. Once the traditional seat of the Kings of Munster, this remarkable collection of medieval buildings offers breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside and provides a fascinating insight into Ireland's rich history.

    Hore Abbey

    Step off the beaten path and discover one of Ireland's hidden medieval treasures. Founded in 1272, Hore Abbey is Ireland's last medieval Cistercian monastery and sits peacefully in the shadow of the famous Rock of Cashel. Unlike many historic sites, the abbey remains wonderfully uncrowded, allowing visitors to wander through its atmospheric ruins and imagine monastic life over 750 years ago. With its Gothic stone arches, ancient cloister, and spectacular views across the Tipperary countryside, Hore Abbey is a favourite among photographers. The abbey's unusual north-facing cloister is a rare architectural feature, and its tranquil setting provides a striking contrast to the bustling Rock of Cashel nearby.
