Loughmore Castle is a 15th-century tower house and National Monument located in Loughmore, County Tipperary, Ireland. The castle consists of a four-storey tower with a bawn and is set in open countryside. While it offers a glimpse into medieval Irish history, it is a ruin with no visitor facilities or interactive exhibits.

Family tips
Best for children aged 8+
This is a medieval ruin with no facilities or activities, so works best for children old enough to appreciate history rather than play.
Facilities
No facilities on site
There are no toilets, cafes, or sheltered areas. Plan accordingly and use facilities before or after your visit.
Buggy
Uneven ground throughout
The site has uneven ground, so buggies and pushchairs won't be practical. Older children who can walk independently are essential.
