Review & FAQ:
The Golden Vale is home to a grouping of Medieval buildings that sit on top of a limestone cliff known as Rock of Cashel. Visitor’s looking to explore ancient Ireland can see 12th century Romanesque Chapel and round tower, 13th-century Gothic Cathedral, and a castle built during the 15th century. Rock of Cashel is located 500 m from the Cashel town center just off Dublin Road. Guided tours of the medieval sites are available, and photography is welcomed. Visitors should expect the Rock of Cashel to have heavy tourism traffic all year round but particularly in the summer months.
