Completely charming village with a very imposing castle perched above it. Well worth a visit, especially if you time your visit for a long French lunch in one of the restaurants!
Gorgeous forest dog walks in Ballycuggaran. It's a huge space and there are a couple of marked trails to help you navigate. The trees are a mix of firs and larch, and oaks and ash too.
Wonderful combination of a large village with a number of restaurant/cafes with big outside terraces, and just a bit down the road there's a lake with lots of things to do, plenty of parking, and a...

Doggylicious trail in a big loop starting from Clonaslee. Pick a sunny day and this is fantastic.
Dog-tastic walk right on the boundary of Limerick and Tipperary. Just gorgeous! There's no castle there now, but the land used to be part of the grounds.
A National Trust woodland with several short trails. It's a quiet and undisturbed place, and great for dogs.
