Cahir Hotels & Information

Cahir, often spelled Caher in older accounts, is a town in South Tipperary, Ireland. The town is best known for Cahir Castle, built on an island in the River Suir near the centre of the town, and also for the Swiss cottage.

In addition it has a fine Church of Ireland parish church, still in use, designed by John Nash (architect), one of only three ecclesiastical buildings he designed in Ireland.

It is widely known in history as being a defence town and was also the first town to be linked by stagecoach in the 1800s, when Charles Bianconi commenced services between Clonmel, Cahir and Cashel. The building at The Square, where The Galtee Inn is now sited, was the stopping point in the town for Bianconi's coaches.

Cahir attracts many tourists because of its location. It is situated at the principal intersection of two national primary routes, the N8 road Dublin?Cork and the N24 road Limerick?Waterford. Cahir is on the Limerick?Waterford regional railway line and Cahir railway station opened on 1 May 1852.
