The Tipperary 10

Walk Two: Explore the Butler Trail starting with Cahir Castle, and then ramble along the banks of the River Suir, to Swiss Cottage, a romantic, breathtaking folly, built for Lord Cahir as a Hunting and Fishing Lodge in 1812.

Walk Four: Glengarra Woods, on the southern slopes of the Galtees, has two looped walks to choose from – the Red Loop and the Millenium (Green) Trail. You will be amazed at the fantastic variety of trees, and the stunning views.

Walk Six: Take time out to walk the Rock Loops, a hidden gem on the outskirts of Clonmel, beyond Marlfield Village. There are three extremely pleasant 5km rambles through old woods and along the banks of the River Suir.

Walk Eight: Walk around Fethard medieval walls, built in 1292, and explore its Norman history and Irish culture. Especially don’t miss the Holy Trinity Church (c.1200) and The Augustinian Abbey (c1300). This is fun for all the family, with amenities nearby.

Walk Ten: The historical Grange Crag Loop, with its Victorian ice house and Wellington Memorial, has views across the whole of Tipperary. This path is off the beaten track but worth the walk.
