Tipperary features in National Geographic travel guide

National Geographic have featured some of south Tipperary's sites and attractions in a recent article called 10 Best Things to Do in Ireland. 

Under the heading, Travel along a blueway, the author recommends boat tours along the River Suir, specifically Cahir and Carrick-On-Suir as well as a walk along the riverbank path from Clonmel to Carrick-on-Suir.

They also recommend a stay at the Cashel Palace and a visit to the Apple Farm in Cahir. 

The article says: 

"The River Suir was once one of County Tipperary’s main transport routes. Now the 33-mile Suir Blueway is one of Ireland’s three accredited blueways (dedicated trails for exploring water routes). You can join a tour and float past castles and under stone bridges from Cahir to Carrick-on-Suir.

"Alternatively, the restored 13-mile riverbank towpath stretches from Clonmel to Carrick-on-Suir, passing fishing huts, wildflower-filled banks, and the apple orchards of Bulmers Cider (also known as Magners). Nearby in Cashel, stay overnight at the historic Cashel Palace and visit the Apple Farm in Cahir, a family-run spot since 1968, where you can buy pies and chips made from the local Elstar variety."
