Cashel Information

Cashel is a historic little town in South County Tipperary. It's located just off the N8 (Dublin - Cork Road) so it's a must if you're touring Munster. Cashel is world famous as having one of the most visited heritage sites in Ireland - The Rock of Cashel.

Cashel was once seat of the Kings of Munster and capital of this southern province. The Rock, which rises above the plain, dominated the land routes southward. Kings of Ireland as well as Munster, came to this spot and St.Patrick is said to have preached here. King Cormac built his superb Royal Chapel in the 12th century and it is now one of the remarkable buildings to be seen on the Rock. Nearby were Cistercian, Dominican and Franciscan Abbeys, two of which may still be viewed.

A visit to Cashel must include the town to experience and understand the historical relationship between the Rock and the town. Cashel City Hall will be your first port of call wherein you can turn the key to the rich heritage in Cashel such as the archaeology, fine architecture, fascinating history and folklore of this remarkable town. The Heritage Centre, located on Main Street, Cashel, will provide the visitor with a series of changing exhibitions, and a model of Cashel in 1640's. A unique collection from the house of the MacCarthy Mor is a rare gem in this centre and a must to see.

At the foot of the Rock of Cashel you'll find the Bru Boru Heritage Centre which is well worth a visit, where daily during the Summer months you can enjoy some live shows of Irish dance, song and culture.
