Did You Know?
The GAA is the cultural body that is dedicated to running and administering Ireland’s native sports including Gaelic Football and Hurling. Our tip is to get along to a hurling game. During the summer months you won’t get a better combination of Irish culture and a party than cheering on the blue and gold in what we like to call the best field game in the world.

This Castle was built in the 12th Century and rebuilt in the 16th Century by John O'Kennedy. In the process of rebuilding the Stowe Missal, a 9th Century Mass Book, was found.
The Castle stands in a bawn and is surrounded by the remains of a high wall, now part of a farmyard. To the east of the Castle is a fine example of a Cromwellian farmhouse. The Castle is situated three miles east of Lorrha village and is still in remarkably good condition and well worth a visit.
