Ireland: Counties Limerick & Tipperary

Discover Ireland. Includes FREE planning and background information. From marching ditties to bad puns on bathroom walls, the names Tipperary and Limerick are part of the lexicon. But, as is so often the truth, the reality bears little relationship to the lore. Both counties are places to revel in the Irish past. Ancient Celtic sights, medieval abbeys and other relics endure in solitude, waiting for discovery. Sights like the monumental Rock of Cashel and Cahir Castle are on many an itinerary, but despite their popularity are still able to move and inspire. In fact, you might find yourself whistling a merry tune as you explore Limerick and Tipperary – just leave those bathroom walls alone.
