Cahir Castle and Town, County Tipperary, Ireland

By Jody Halsted May 30, 2007

Forwarded to IFV 4/7/2018 Cahir (pronounced ‘care’) makes a terrific afternoon trip out of Cashel.

Once inside the main keep you can enter the […]

Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland

By Jody Halsted May 24, 2007

Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, County Clare, Ireland

By Jody Halsted May 15, 2007

If your kids are young, as Brenna was when we visited, I would suggest making this your morning stop. Explore the castle, wander through the folk park and let the kids run off their […]

By Jody Halsted May 14, 2007

Forwarded to Bunratty Meadows on IFV 4/7/2018 In November 2005 we packed up our little family and headed to Ireland. With a one-year-old it was quite an adventure.
