It's wonderful to see Tipperary ranked fifth in Lonely Planet's Top 25 Places to Visit in 2026 list!
As we're based in Clonmel, I have to admit to a bit of bias, but the Premier County has so much to offer.
Here are just a few of my recommendations to consider for your trip to Tipp!

Leadership & sparks: Fr Nicholas Sheehy (Clogheen) sympathises; a Protestant attorney Fant fans grievances. By 1763, Tipperary has 14,000+ involved; spread to Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Waterford (rumours further afield).

Last Clogheen CES visit yesterday produced a rather low 41 birds of 14 species. Highlights included 5 species of warbler, of the 9 Sedge Warbler, one was so heavily covered in fat for migration it was almost twice its normal weight at 18g! @npwsireland.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

First Swallow roost catch of the year at Clogheen Marsh last night. About 300 birds came into roost and we caught 114 inc a retrap adult from last year plus 2 Sand Martin. Surprised to get so many this early, but migration seems early @npwsireland.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

A rather quiet Clogheen CES 8 with virtually no bird song. Felt rather like some adult birds have already left! Still managed to catch 49 birds. Highlights were two very contrasting male Swallow, 3 juvenile Bullfinch, a Mallard and a Water Rail @npwsireland.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social 🪶

How many daily rations were served in June 1847 through soup kitchens in the #Tipperary Poor Law Union ?
27,564 a day!
A testament to the Quaker community during the Famine. Small groups can make a big impact.

Found a gem in the archives!
From Clogheen to Western Australia, this beautiful share certificate from Paringa Mines (a gold mine) November 1909.
It's a piece of early 20th-century investment in a company operating between Kalgoorlie, Australia, and London.
