Cahir, Ireland - Quaker Links
Our take
Cahir, Ireland, offers more than just the iconic Cahir Castle and the Rock of Cashel; it's a treasure trove of history waiting to be explored! Today, I ventured to the enchanting Garranalive burial ground, just minutes from town, where the Quaker influence is palpable. Continuing my journey along the Tipperary Heritage Way, I discovered a breathtaking ancient Yew woodland. Nestled within, the Swiss Cottage stands as a reminder of a Quaker settlement from around 1665, adding layers of intrigue to this picturesque landscape.
 | 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. [link] [comments] |
