My Grandmother is going to the southern part of the Republic of Ireland and might go to County Tipperary.

Answer 1

Yep There is plenty to do and see in Tipp. You could go visit The "rock of Cashel". It a very large castle bulit upon a huge stone mound, you could also visit the swiss cottage in Cahir as well as the castle there. Throughout the county there are many secnic drives over mountains which offer great views. Plus the pints are fairly down here.

Answer 2

Visit the Michelstown Caves to see 350 million year old fossils as well as stalactites, stalagmites and calcite columns.

The famous Rock Of Cashel, the 5th century seat of the Kings of Munster, "where St Patrick is supposed to have picked a shamrock in order to explain the doctrine of the Trinity."

The Cashel Heritage Centre which has a scale model of Cashel in the 1640's and the Cashel folk village, a reconstructions of traditional thatched village shops, a forge, other businesses, and a penal Chapel.

The Bru Boru Centre beside the Rock of Cashel, "it has a folk theatre, restaurant, craft and information centre and a genealogy suite. Traditional Irish music, song and dance are provided for visitors by the world famous resident Bru Boru group of Irish musicians and artists during the Summer season."

"The Dundrum Plantarum

It has eight acres of trees, shrubs and a two mile walk. There are sixty thousand plants and over two thousand varieties. A Celtic theme runs through the Plantarum with crannogs, dolmens and fairy forts all on view. There are also many interesting water features including lakes and waterfalls."

Blarney Castle is only about an hours drive from Tipperary, you could round it off by kissing the Blarney Stone!
