Newport-on-the-Mulcair: A Tipperary River Town Trail
📍 Tipperary🚶 6 stops🚶️ 0.78km⌛ ~30 min
A short loop through a Silvermine Mountains market town built around its crossing of the River Mulcair. In a few hundred metres you pass a roofless post-Penal church, a Victorian courthouse with one of Ireland's best-preserved bridewells, a demolished Church of Ireland's surviving graveyard, and the 1930s parish church that succeeded them all. Newport's layered churches and civic buildings trace two centuries of a small Tipperary town finding its feet on the road between Limerick and Nenagh. Looking for things to do in Newport?
