Nenagh

The county town of County Tipperary, Nenagh sits on the eastern shores of Lough Derg and serves as a base for the lake and the nearby mountains. The town's Norman past left a castle and an abbey, both worth a visit, and its name in Irish — Aonach Urmhumhan, the Fair of Ormond — recalls its long history as a market centre. For its size, it has a solid café and restaurant scene.
