cahir castle

Cahir Castle is one of Ireland's largest and best preserved castles situated on a rocky island on the river Suir. The castle's attractions include an excellent audio-visual show called "Partly Hidden and Partly Revealed" (English/French/German/Italian). The show informs visitors of all the main sites of the area. There are also several exhibitions.

The castle was acquired by the Office of Public Works as a National Monument in 1964 and a major scheme of conservation work was undertaken. A very fine audio-visual show introduces the visitor to Cahir Castle and over 20 other National Monuments in the area are housed in a restored 19th century cottage within the outer ward.
