Tipperary

The annual two-day Glen of Aherlow Walking Festival, held in the Spring, is the perfect way to enjoy this secluded valley, which stretches through 16 miles of unspoilt countryside.

You can take your time walking alongside the Nire River as it tumbles down through this valley from its source high up in the Comeragh mountains, to the smooth flowing Suir river near Newcastle. The festival itself takes place around October every year.
