Tipperary

The name Tipperary is taken from the Irish 'Tiobraid Arann', which means 'the well of Era', referring to the River Ara.  Landlocked Tipperary with villages which can look like something out of the English shires. The central area is low lying, but rolling hills spill over from the 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 the ahir and its castle. In between you will find delights along pretty much any country road you choose.

The centre of County Tipperary is known as 'the Golden Vale', a fertile stretch of land in the basin of the River Suir, which crosses the county from north to south. Tipperary is bound by mountains to the south and west with a border on Lough Derg in the north thus offering a superb range of outdoor activities for visitors and locals alike.
