Why Rock of Cashel matters

The Rock of Cashel rises from the plain in County Tipperary, a hilltop crowded with towers, a cathedral and a chapel. For centuries it was linked to the kings of Munster and later to the Church. Inside, look for the remains of medieval carvings. The silhouette from the road is one of Ireland's best.
