Some places hold centuries of stories in just a few steps.

In the small village of Riverstown, the Little Brosna River winds between Tipperary and neighbouring County Offaly, crossed by a beautiful five-arch stone bridge that has stood here for around 300 years.

For those with Tipperary roots, places like Riverstown are a reminder of the landscapes, waterways and villages that have connected generations.

And if you have time to stay a little longer, the river is also a peaceful spot for angling, with fishing possible upstream from the bridge for 9km towards Sharavogue.

A little corner of Tipperary worth rediscovering.

As we enter what is possibly the best time for walk in County Tipperary we are delighted to share this tool with you.

It contains everything you need to plan your visit giving hikers a bite-sized format they can easily email to friends and fellow walkers or print out for trip preparation.

September is often considered the best time for hiking offering with changing seasonal colours of the heather covered hills and the trees turning.

There are fewer crowds on the trails and a pleasant walking temperature after the heat of this summer. But be warned temperatures are beginning to dro and daylight is fading faster in the evenings.
