Grogan’s Ice Cream

Family, International, Ireland

Our plans to visit Tipperary were vague. We just thought we’d like to see the area that our Great Great Grandparents emigrated from during The Great Famine so detouring to the town of Cashel for ice cream fit with the plan. With the help of Yelp! we navigated to downtown Cashel, found a pay and display car park, and walked to Grogan’s Ice Cream where we were warmly welcomed by Tommy, the owner, and Thomas, his son. The delicious ice cream alone made it worth the trip but when we told Tommy honestly that we’d come to Cashel specifically for his ice cream, he encouraged us to also visit Cashel Rock, gave us complimentary general admission tickets and walking directions that would also give us views of an ancient abbey on our way to St Patrick’s Rock of Cashel.

The Irish Sun recognized Grogan’s as among the Best Ice Cream Parlors in Ireland!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
