Introducing Cahir
Every bit as worth a stop as Cashel, Cahir (An Cathair; pronounced care) is a compact and attractive town that encircles its namesake castle. Replete with towers, a moat and various battlements, it’s everything a castle fanatic could ask for. There’s a town square lined with pubs and cafés, and good walking paths along the banks of the River Suir.

Cahir is 15km south of Cashel, at the eastern tip of the Galtee Mountains.
