Location

Locations Strategically located on the N8 160 Kilometres from Dublin, 100 Kilometres from Cork and 84 Kilometres from Shannon, these holiday homes and hotel occupy a pivotal and high profile location, beside the famous pre 4th. Century Rock of Cashel at the entrance to Cashel Town.

The Rock of Cashel, with its well preserved ecclesiastical remains, is one of Ireland’s most spectacular landmarks, rising above the surrounding plain and dominating the land route southward. A visit to Cashel town is vital in order to appreciate the relationship between it and the adjoining Rock. Within the City walls are many architectural features and historical characters, including St John’s Cathedral, Bolton Library, Brú Ború, Cashel Folk Village, Dominic Abbey and Hore Abbey.

Cashel has a very ancient history, albeit only documented since the 4th. Century.The large Cathedral, ancient round tower and the very early Romanesque Cormac’s Chapel, perched on a dramatic outcrop of rock, were silent witnesses to many of the stirring events of Irish History: St Patrick converted the local King, Aenghus here in the 5th. Century. Brian Boru was crowned King of Ireland on this spot in the early 11th. Century.

The Vicar’s Choral has been restored and the site, one of the most visited in Irelands now provides a multi lingual interpretative centre, an interesting museum, guided tours and spectacular views over the extensive and beautiful plains of Tipperary.

Cashel is an ideal base for visiting and touring both the Southern and Western Coastline.

The Rock of Cashel plays host to more than 500,000 visitors each year and with the major improvements in road networks Cork, Shannon, and Dublin airports are easily accessible.
