Long way to Tipperary.

As the words of the song go,its a long way to Tipperary, but I can assure you that you will not be sorry you made the journey. As a photographer who lives here everyday I am in complete awe of this beautiful county. With a number of mountain ranges, the Galtees, the Comeraghs, the Knockmealdowns and Slievenamon to name just some Tipperary is a walkers paridise. If mountain or hill walking is not your thing then there are lowland river walks. Boasting some of the most famous historical sites in Ireland, like Cahir Castle, The Rock of Cashel, Athassel Abbey, and Holycross abbey and that is only in south Tipperary. The Shannon flows through part of North Tipperary and again you have great walks and historical buildings like Roscrea Castle & Round Tower, Nenagh Castle and the famous Ballinhinch Castle Hotel. These are only a few of many sites and places to visit while in Tipperary which boasts a long and varied history. Legend and Folklore are also to be found in this mystical county, wheather its Fionn McCool and Slieve na mon or the Devil and Borrisnoe mountain you will find stories a plenty. Wheather you are walking, driving, or cycling to come to Ireland and not to put Tipperary on your itinery would be a mistake, to live in Ireland and not to have visited Tipperary is a sin. You have read the opinion of one man, all I can say is I have exhibited the Beauty of Tipperary, and Ireland around the world and in each place people have left my exhibitions saying they will have to come and enjoy such beauty for themselves. As usual if you think I can help you in anyway you can e-mail info@goldenirishphotography.com

Ireland needs you.

I love Ireland, I am not afraid to say it. It is an incredibly beautiful country with incredible light. The problem is that this is not being sold, most countries will highlight these positives in the hope of attracting people who would come for the photography not Ireland. We are trying to sell the country and many of the people that we try to sell to know the country better than the people who are selling it. I am now going to do this myself. I am a wildlife and landscape photographer who travels the 32 counties of Ireland to create my images. It is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, the quality of light for artists and photographers is second to none. You can hardly travel more than a couple of miles without being taken aback by the beauty of the countryside. Every small parish is busting with history and historic sites that make wonderful subjects for photographs. Now more than ever Ireland needs tourism, we need people to come here and experience the magic of Ireland for themselves, I can promise you you will not be disappointed.
