Questions
About this route
How long is the drive from Limerick to Cashel?
About 55 min for 59 km, by the N24 through Tipperary town and the N74 into Cashel.
Is there a bus from Limerick to Cashel?
Yes. Bus Éireann route 332 runs from Limerick to Cashel a few times a day, through the villages north of the main road, and the comparison above gives its times. A private car takes the direct road and leaves when you choose.
Can you wait at the Rock of Cashel and drive us back to Limerick?
Yes. Book a return with waiting time, or keep the car for the day, and the chauffeur stays in Cashel while you visit the Rock and Hore Abbey below it.
How close to the Rock of Cashel can the car go?
The Rock stands on a hill above the town, with a short, steep path up from the car park. We drop as near to the entrance as the road allows and collect from the same spot.
Can we continue from Cashel to Kilkenny or Dublin?
Yes. Cashel sits close to the M8, so it works as a stop on the way east rather than a return trip. Tell us the final address and we quote the whole journey as one price.
