Today we explored the three towns of Clonmel, Cashel and Tipperary. Alas, Waterford doesn’t have an ANZAC dawn service or a cenotaph so we had to commemorate ANZAC day in our own way.
The Rock of Cashel, also known as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick’s rock is located at Cashel, County Tipperary. The “rock” consists of a spectacular group of medieval buildings set on an outcrop of limestone including a 12th century round tower, High Cross and Romanesque Chapel, 13th century Gothic cathedral, 15th century Castle and a restored Hall of the Vicars Choral. During our visit, scaffolding was in place to support ongoing restoration of the Cormac Chapel.
On our way back to Waterford we visited Tipperary – because you have to if you’ve come all this way. 🙂
Sounds like you’re packing up your troubles in your old kit bag! Once again, super pics!
What lovely country you are in. I found a headstone at the Rock (fallen over) that was 500 years old ( as I recall). That made me think about how WE think of our old things in Australia. In Canberra they heritage list revolting high density housing as it was the first high density housing of its type. ?
