  1. TIPPERARY

  2. In 1375 the castle was granted to James Bulter newly created Earl of Ormond, for his loyalty to Edward III. His son James, the second Earl (by his second marriage) passed the lands around the barony of Iffa and Offa West to his children, though they were not themselves noble. This changed by 1542 when the first of the Barons Cahir was created. Unlike their staunchly Anglican kinsmen, this branch of the Butler dynasty sided with the Roman Catholic Irish in the Elizabethan wars. In 1599 the castle was captured after a three-day siege by the army of the Earl of Essex and was for a year put under the charge of Sir Charles Blount. Lord Cahir joined with the Earl of Tyrone in 1601 and was attainted for treason, but later obtained a full pardon. In 1627 the Castle was the scene of a celebrated killing when Cahir's son-in-law, Lord Dunboyne, murdered a distant cousin James Prendergast, in a dispute over an inheritance By Ross, Patrick & Jacques Cahir Castle

  3. Derrynaflan DerrynaflanDiscovered in 1980 on farmland close to the site of an early Irish monastery, in Derrynaflan, County Tipperary, the Derrynaflan Chalice is considered to be one of the most outstanding pieces of goldsmithing in the history of Irish art. Made by Irish metallurgists in the eighth or ninth century, it illustrates - along with its sister artifacts the Ardagh Chalice and the Moylough Belt Shrine - the superlative metallurgical and artistic skills of Celtic craftsmen during the Insular Art period (c.650-1000) in the ultimate La Tene style. Other Celtic metalwork art in the so-called Derrynaflan Hoard includes a silver paten, a paten stand, a strainer and a bronze basin. All these precious examples of medieval Christian art are on display at the National Museum of Ireland Chalice Paten By Darragh R., Darragh L. & Dervla

  6. The Rock of Cashel According to local mythology the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devils Bit a mountain 20 miles (30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave resulting in the rocks landing in Cashel. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the king of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century. The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of kings of Munster for several years. By Diarmuid, Jack & Sylvan

  7. THE VEE ‘The Vee’ is a V-shaped turn on the road leading to a gap in the Knockmealdown mountains. The Vee is famous for its breathtaking views. The journey rises to about 2,000 feet (610m) above sea level above Bay Lough, and as it does so it gives wonderful views of a portion of the ‘Golden Vale’   On a clear day (or night) the Vee you can see along and across the valley to Clonmel, Cahir, Ardfinnan, Clogheen, Ballyporeen and even Cashel. You can also see the Galtee Mountains across the valley, the Comeragh Mountains along the valley and Slievenamon, behind Clonmel, quite clearly. It is also famous as the resting place of Samuel Grubb, whose grave, known as Grubb’s Grave or Grubb’s Monument, stands looking across the Vee Valley, since his death in 1921. The Vee Pass is very popular among cyclists as it has one of the best climbs to be found in the south-east of Ireland. Robbie, Jennifer & Cian
