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.

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.

One of europes major showcaves, discovered in 1833 by michael condon who was quarrying limestone when his crowbar slipped into a crevasse. He removed a few boulders to retrieve the bar, next minute he found himself looking down into a vast network of passages and caverns. In order to protect the caves natural state guided tours were quickly organised. Tours were conducted through the cave by candlelight untill 1972 when it was the first cave in Ireland to be electrified. Today on the guided tour you visit three massive caverns in which you are surrounded by indescribable dripstone formations and one of europes finest columns the inspiring Tower of Babel which stands some 9m in height. Mitchelstown Cave is situated midway between Cahir and Mitchelstown. Take exits 11 or 12 on the M8. Sat Nav. DMS 52,18'20.7" 8, 06' 31.4"W Minimum 2 adults for a tour.

Myself and my husband have just visited this attraction. We pre booked which is recommended in these times. We were very impressed with the swift registration and admission. There was antibacterial gel provided (covid-19) provided at admission desk. After a short walk up a small incline we were met by Kate our guide at the entrance to the cave. Small steep steps took us down into 3 seperate caverns where Kate explained how it was created. We really enjoy the visit and Kate answered questions clearly and in a way that was easily understood by all ages. Well worth a visit!
