Luxury holidays in County Tipperary

When to go

Visit Tipperary from spring to summer when it’s at its most lush and emerald; or in August or September to catch the harvest before October’s rains start to pour.

Getting there

• Planes

  Cork airport is about an hour’s drive away, Shannon 90 minutes and Dublin about two hours – all have good links throughout Europe and Shannon and Dublin further afield.

• Trains

  Thurles train station is close to Tipperary’s main attractions, and it’s on the Dublin to Cork line so you can easily cross the country.

• Automobiles

  A car will come in handy for hopping between towns and cruising through country expanses where no (or at least few) buses go.
