In the centre of the town of Cahir, south of Cashel, a medieval castle stands beside the River Suir, with walls, several courtyards, towers and a portcullis at the gate that is still impressive. It is the kind children like: you climb up, lean out of the battlements and understand how it was defended.
The ticket costs €5 (family €13) and it is run by the OPW, like the Rock of Cashel. Allow an hour. By car it is about 20 minutes from Cashel; the 245X bus also stops at Cahir, about 20 minutes after Cashel on the way to Cork.
