Cahir, Ireland - Quaker Links

Most people only visit Cahir Castle (or the Rock of Cashel) in Tipperary but there is a whole other side to explore.

I've been very interested in the Quaker influence on the area and decided it was time to check out Garranalive burial ground today. It's only a few minutes outside of the town and is quite magical!

I continued on the Tipperary Heritage Way along the Suir river to an ancient stand of Yew woodland nearby. The Swiss Cottage (contained within) may have originally been a Quaker settlement dating from about 1665.
