Cashel Heritage Town is a welcoming town on Ireland’s Ancient East. Cashel was once the home of the High Kings of Munster who resided at The Rock of Cashel, the stunning landmark attraction at the edge of the town. It is one of Ireland’s most spectacular archaeological sites, a prominent green hill, banded with limestone outcrops, rising from a grassy plain and bristling with ancient fortifications. It’s only a five-minute stroll from the town centre up to the Rock, from where fantastic views range over the Tipperary countryside.

While the rock is a special highlight, a visit to the town and some of its other attractions is an essential part of the overall experience. It’s easy to spend a day in Cashel enjoying the historic town with colourful shop fronts, quaint streets, welcoming cafés, restaurants and pubs, friendly locals and some other great attractions.

In addition to the Rock of Cashel, other attractions to visit include the Cashel Folk Village, Hore Abbey, Brú Ború Cultural Centre, Cashel Heritage Centre and Tourist Information Office, Gouts Pool and The Bothán Scor (an original Irish famine cottage), Dominic’s Abbey and St. Mark’s Famine Graveyard.

For an evening’s entertainment, enjoy some of the great restaurants and lively pubs that Cashel town has to offer or take in a traditional Irish entertainment show at the Brú Ború Cultural Centre. During the summer months, Cashel town is renowned for great festivals and events.
