Rock of Cashel
Cashel

Cashel has a very ancient history, albeit only documented since the 4th Century. The large cathedral, ancient round tower and the very early, Romanesque Cormacs Chapel, perched on a dramatic outcrop of rock,were silent witnesses to many of the stirring events of Irish history; St. Patrick converted the local king, Aenghus, here in the 5th century; Brian Boru was crowned King of Ireland on this spot in the early 11th Century.

The Vicars Choral has been restored and the site, one of the most visited in Ireland, now provides an interpretative centre, (multi lingual) an interesting museum, guided tours and superb views over the extensive and beautiful plains of Tipperary.
