Famous Rock of Cashel
Just 10 minutes away from our resort the famous Rock of Cashel stands high above the town of Cashel. One of the most amazing heritage landmarks in Ireland and we're proud of it.
Cashel Heritage Centre
The Heritage Centre invites you to investigate the rich heritage of Cashel, one of Ireland’s most significant Ecclesiastical Centres dating to before St. Patrick. It provides the visitor with a series of changing exhibitions, a large- scale model of Cashel in the 1640’s, highlighting the lesser-known treasures of the town. The Charters of Cashel, King Charles II 1663 and James II 1687 are also on permanent display.
During your stay, there is lots to do on-site: a testing 18 hole championship golf course, White Flag Health Centre and landscaped grounds to stroll around. We all like to get out and about and see what's of interest in the area. You won't be disappointed with Cashel and the surrounding area as there is plenty to see and do.
