CARRICK-ON-SUIR DISTRICT Welcome Carrick-on-Suir is located in the south east of County Tipperary and is a 15–20 minute drive from the M9 Dublin– Waterford. It is in a spectacular setting, nestled in the lush valley between Slievenamon to the north-west and the foothills of the Comeragh Mountains to the south. The arts scene is alive and well in Carrick-on-Suir with busy programmes of events (from theatre to musicals) on offer at the Brewery Theatre and the Musical Society. Some of the town’s most famous residents include the Clancy Brothers, members of the world-famous folk group Makem and Clancy, and cyclist Sean Kelly, an Irish former professional road bicycle racer (who gives his name to the central town square). Carrick-on-Suir Heritage Centre, housed in a former Protestant church, holds a wealth of information on the town’s origins as a walled Norse settlement and is an ideal spot in which to get your bearings before exploring. The Butler Trail, a trail of Tipperary's Medieval Towns takes in Ormond Castle, the Old Bridge and St. Nicholas’s Church, amongst other landmarks. For visiting golfers, Carrick-on-Suir Golf Course is a challenging 18-hole course located on the hills overlooking Carrick, and for walkers of all ages, a recently refurbished riverside walk along a former canal tow-path to Clonmel makes for a wonderful family outing. www.tipperary.ie Photo by P.
