Redwood Castle

Redwood Castle is a beautifully restored 13th century tower house located in the most northerly point of Tipperary. It is owned privately by a descendant of the original MacEgan family who once held a school of Irish Law and History in it. Check out its website, Facebook and Instagram for more information.

On a trip to Ireland with a friend, we visited Redwood Castle which is the home of Coleesa Egan, a distant relative. The castle has been the home of a branch of the family for several hundred years. Coleesa was a lovely hostess and gave us a tour of the castle along with tea and fruit buns. The visit was special to me because of the family connection. But I think anyone would be fascinated.

The Vee

on the R668 between Clogheen and Glenaknockaun West

Reviewed By MT1 - Aurora, United States

We made this drive after leaving Waterford and heading to Cahir. It is a beautiful drive full of nice vistas out in the country - well worth a trip. We made several scenic drives somewhat similar to this during our 16 days in Ireland - Caha Pass, Conor Pass, etc. It's nice to take some time to get away from all the tour busses and major crowds at all the big tourist attractions and just enjoy some quieter time in the beautiful Irish countryside. Make the effort to get here - you won't be sorry ...

We couldn't get enough of these incredible ruined pieces of Ireland's past. So much to see, I could spend a trip just going through them all.

Garrykennedy Castle and Old Harbour

Reviewed By Pascuorum

Well worth visiting - and give Larkins Pub a go. We also took the 'Forest Walk', which starts beside the old Castle ruin. It didn't go far, but was a nice interlude.

Cahir Castle

This imposing 15th-century castle was long a military stronghold.

Reviewed By LenSydneyAustralia - Glenbrook, Australia

Self toured this castle with some narrow staircases. It had some very interesting history which is on display plus different rooms as it was. Worth a visit.
