Tipperary, area would be greatly appreciated, as well as anyone's favorite Cahir-area places to see. >> Jim, The only time I've stayed in Caher (that's how the Ordnance Survey spells it, and I'm going with them) was at the Wishing Well B&B, on the west side of town, on the N 24. That was in 1998 and I enjoyed the stay and have recommended it to others. But the website is no longer active, however a Google search of > Wishing Well B&B Cahir < will give you some hits. I noticed at least one of them gave a fax and phone number. But I don't know if it's alive and well <gr> or not. It was owned by Liam Simpson. Regarding things to see. If you are a fan of Early Christian or early Medieval sites, you have Toureen Peakaun, with its 12th century Romanesque church and a number of earlier (8th, 9th century) cross-slabs and crosses, about 3 miles NW of Caher town. About 3 more miles west, in the lovely Glen of Aherlow, is St. Berrihert's Kyle, a small enclosure with over 50 early cross-slabs/gravestones. About 7 miles NNW of Caher town, just a mile or so south of Golden, is the huge (and magnificent) early 13th century Augustinian priory of Athassel - along the banks of the River Suir. I've been there only twice, and there was no one around either time. From there, it's a short trip up to the "Must See" Rock of Cashel. I'll stop here, as I'm not sure if your interests would include any of these places. But I know, I plan on re-visiting all of the above sites this coming May, on my "Mostly Munster" tour. If you'd like more information on the above places, drop me a line. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
