Cahir

Ireland

Cahir sits in County Tipperary along the River Suir, where old trade routes once met. The N24 runs straight through town, connecting Waterford and Limerick, while the M8 motorway nearby gives quick access to Dublin and Cork. About 30 fast chargers serve electric vehicles around the town centre. The massive 13th-century castle, built on a rocky island in the river, remains one of Ireland's best-preserved medieval fortifications with its great hall and defensive towers still intact.
