It is one of Ireland's largest and best-preserved castles. It is situated on a rocky island on the River Suir. The castle's attractions include an excellent audio-visual show which informs visitors about the castle.

1 reviews for Cahir Castle
Game of Thrones like castle, with canons and spiral staircases (wear flats). Bring seeds to feed ducks and geese on the moat. Follow the new Fairy trail beside the castle. Further down this walk, 15 mins walk to beautiful Swiss Cottage. Picnic in park behind the castle.
