Everyone told us we MUST visit the Titanic Museum, and so we did and happily so. Much to learn about the building of the Titanic and ship-building in general in this impressive structure. There’s even a ride!

A long, flinch-inducing ride (212 miles) brought us to Inch House near Tipperary, our lodgings for the week. What a place! Dating back to the 1700s, Inch House is a working farm. With spectacular views, comfortable bedrooms and en suite bathrooms for all, it was a dream come true for weary travelers. The first night established our routine of gathering in the evenings in the drawing room for cocktails and chats.

Inch cemetery just a short walk from the Inch House located next to a mound which was once a fort made of wood that predates the castles in the area! The tombstones date back several centuries.
