Motorhoming in Ireland- When to go
If you’re used to motorhoming in france , spain or germany , motorhome aires de camping are a common part of life. In ireland, there are only a handful of what you might recognise as motorhome aires, but they don’t really work in the same way as they do on the continent.
Sometimes they’re free, other times you need to pay your euros to the butchers shop round the corner, or the pub along the high street. A few of these have purpose-built motorhome services, but many are a bit ad hoc. Expect to pay around €5-10 per night.
Our next destination for campervan holidays in ireland is located in the county of tipperary. Here you can find a spectacular archaeological site which contains a group of medieval buildings near the city centre of cashel town: the rock of cashel. One of the highlights is the round tower, a romanesque chapel, a gothic cathedral as well as a tower building from the 15th century. King cormac’s brother (one of the most celebrated kings in irish tradition) is supposedly buried here. According to legend, the rock of cashel was created by the devil himself. He is said to have bitten off a piece of the mountain “devil’s bit” and when he spat it out it flew south and became the rock of cashel.
