"From Tipperary you can easily reach the town of Cashel (50 minutes by bus) to see the Rock Of Cashel.
The Rock of Cashel, to which the town below owes its origin, is an isolated elevation of stratified limestone, rising abruptly from a broad and fertile plain called the Golden Vale.
The top of this eminence is crowned by a group of remarkable ruins.
The Rock of Cashel is now one of Ireland's most popular tourist sites.
My advice is to visit it inside and then go for a walk outside all around the Rock, stop for a while and look at the beautiful foggy panorama.
The town has several other attractions, including the Bolton Library, the Cashel Town Hall, the Georgian Cathedral Church of St John the Baptist and St Patrick's Rock, and the Cashel Folk Village. "

"The Rock of Cashel, also known as the Cashel of Kings or St. Patrick’s Rock, was the kings of Munster’s traditional seat and is said to be one of the most remarkable pieces of medieval architecture. This historic site is also composed of a few different buildings. The oldest of them is a 90-foot-tall Round Tower that was built using the dry stone method back in c. 1100."
