Lorrha Monastic Village, nestled in the most northerly part of County Tipperary, is a hidden gem for all those with an interest in history.
Lorrha Monastic Village offers a journey back in time. In the east of Lorrha Village there are the remains of two 8th century high crosses alongside The Augustinian Priory, St. Ruadhan's Church and St. Ruadhan's Well. At the west end of Lorrha Village stands The Dominican Abbey.
