One of Ireland’s most famous landmarks is located in Tipperary. The Rock of Cashel stands tall on top of a limestone hill overlooking the land. It was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. In 1101, the King of Munster, Muirchertach Ua Briain, donated his fortress on the Rock to the Church. Visitors to Tipperary also enjoy Cahir Castle. The castle was built in 1142 and is one of the largest castles in Ireland. It is located on the river Suir and is a great place to have a walk around and explore.
