Introducing County Tipperary
Landlocked Tipperary boasts the sort of fertile soil that farmers dream of. There’s still an upper-crust gloss to traditions here. Local fox hunts are in full legal cry during the winter season and the villages can look like something out of the English shires. The central area of the county is low-lying, but rolling hills spill over from adjoining counties. There’s good walking, especially in the Glen Of Aherlow near Tipperary town. Of course, the real crowd-pleasers are iconic Cashel, and Cahir and its castle. In between, you’ll find delights along pretty much any country road you choose.
