The best cycling routes around The Municipal District of Cahir — Cashel

The Tipperary Heritage Way is a 56-kilometre National Walking Trail that follows the River Suir, linking some of the county's most magnificent historical landmarks, including Cahir Castle.

This is a picturesque, seven-arch road bridge over the River Duag that was built in the early 19th century. It leads into Clogheen, a pretty village that's a terminus of both the East Munster Way and Blackwater Way long-distance trails. Shortly after this, the Duag runs into the Tar, itself a tributary of the Suir.

Clogheen is a picturesque village in the Galtee-Vee Valley. With a few accommodation options and places to eat, it's a good base for the nearby Knockmealdown Mountains to the south. The village is also the end point of the East Munster Way and the start of the Blackwater Way.

Tipperary is a colourful and historic market town, featuring Georgian streets and traditional shopfronts. Famed in a song adopted by WW1 soldiers as a marching song - I challenge you not to sing it at least once.

13th-century Moor Abbey is a Franciscan friary, ruined since the reformation. The surviving church, built in 1471, retains its Gothic features and is designated as a National Monument. It endured multiple burnings and periods of reoccupation before being abandoned in 1748. It is open to the public for free and the location is surrounded by beautiful views.

A very beautiful church, magnificent on the outside, but rather modest on the inside. The roof structure is unusual and I liked it. Some of the stained glass windows are also very beautiful.

Admission for adults is €5. Guided tours and a short film are available in various languages, but you can also explore the 13th-century castle on your own. Children in particular should enjoy exploring the many staircases, winding rooms, and the large courtyard. There's a small souvenir shop, restrooms, and brochures.

Burncourt Castle is a fortified house and a National Monument in County Tipperary, Ireland. The castle was originally known as Everard's Castle, and was built by Richard Everard, 1st Baronet (d. 1650), son of politician and judge Sir John Everard. When Richard married Catherine Plunkett in 1620, his father awarded him a large estate around the River Tar. Around 1639 Sir Richard some of his land and began to build a fortified house. It was complete in 1641, and had 26 gables and seven chimneys. Archeological investigation found a cow skeleton in a pit that extended under the east wall of the castle. The cow appeared to have been killed and dismembered and left as a protective votive offering – the flanks were placed next to each other and the head placed on the upper backbone. The Everards took up residence just as the Irish Rebellion of 1641 began. In 1642 Sir Richard joined the Catholic Confederates at Kilkenny and became a member of the Supreme Council. Sir Richard's wife Catherine remained at the castle. In 1649, as Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads advanced on Everard's Castle, Lady Catherine burned it down, earning it the name of the Burned Court. Sir Richard Everard went on fight at the Siege of Limerick (1650–51), but was captured and hung in 1651 by Henry Ireton. Burncourt was abandoned. According to tradition Burncourt was seven years in building, seven years lived in and seven days burning. In the early 18th century, the painter Anthony Chearnley built a house adjoining the Burncourt ruin. The excavation also showed that there was no remaining debris from the castle burning, meaning that the roof slates and lead flashings were salvaged/looted for use elsewhere. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burncourt_Castle
