Standing majestically atop a limestone outcrop in County Tipperary, the Rock of Cashel is one of Ireland's most spectacular archaeological sites. This ancient royal site of the kings of Munster dates back to the 12th century, though its history stretches far beyond its stones...

Did you know? The Rock of Cashel, also known as St. Patrick's Rock, is where Ireland's patron saint allegedly converted King Aengus to Christianity in the 5th century. Today, its impressive features include the round tower, Cormac's Chapel (one of Ireland's finest Romanesque churches), the cathedral, and the Hall of the Vicars Choral, each telling their own story of Ireland's rich medieval heritage.

Just a scenic hour's drive from Killure Holiday Cottages, this iconic landmark offers our guests a perfect day trip into Ireland's storied past. 🏰

Spanning centuries of Irish history, Kilkenny's historic Greensbridge gracefully arches over the River Nore. Built in 1766, this seven-arch limestone bridge has witnessed countless stories flow beneath its sturdy spans. The wild foxgloves and native flora that crown its ancient stones today tell a tale of nature and architecture in perfect harmony. A true testament to Georgian engineering that still serves as a vital crossing point in the medieval heart of Kilkenny. 🌸 🌉

At Killure Cottages, blending comfort with personal touches is our goal. Kat's review beautifully highlights this blend...

"Majella's place is classic meets luxury. She left so many extra touches out I felt like I was staying at a 5-star hotel. The bed was extremely comfortable and soft, the kitchen had all the amenities (although I only used the microwave for most of the week). My favorite part was the local recommendations from Majella and Michael, though. They both knew their area and suggested unique things to do that I would have missed otherwise."

Did you know? This remarkable structure is Browne's Hill Dolmen, one of Ireland's most impressive portal tombs dating back to 4000-3000 BC. Its massive capstone, weighing over 100 tonnes, is believed to be the largest in Europe! Resting on four upright stones, this Neolithic monument stands as a testament to our ancestors' engineering prowess in County Carlow.

Ancient myths whisper that these dolmens were built by giants, earning them the nickname "giant's graves" - though we now know they served as ancient burial chambers, marking the final resting place of important community members. A remarkable piece of prehistoric Ireland, still standing proud after 5,000 years. 🗿 ⚱️

Standing sentinel through centuries, these Celtic High Crosses in St Kieran's graveyard, Kilkenny, represent masterpieces of early medieval Irish art. Dating from the 8th-9th centuries, these limestone monuments blend Christian symbolism with traditional Celtic patterns, often featuring intricate knotwork and biblical scenes carved by skilled craftsmen.

These crosses served not only as religious symbols but as teaching tools, their carved panels telling biblical stories to those who couldn't read. The distinctive ring around the cross head, a characteristic of Irish High Crosses, represents eternal life - a perfect marriage of faith and artistry that defines Ireland's golden age of Christianity. ⚔️ ✝️
