Roscrea (Irish Ros Cré , "Wood of Cré") is a town in County Tipperary in Ireland, with a population in 2016 of about 5500. It has a concentration of medieval buildings, notably the castle, and is also a good base for nearby sites across the county boundary in Offaly and Laois.

Expressway X12 runs every two hours from Dublin Airport and Busáras via Portlaoise , taking two hours to Roscrea, and continuing west to Nenagh and Limerick . A Local Link bus also plies the section between Roscrea and Nenagh.

Kavanagh's Bus 812 runs twice M-Sa between Roscrea, Templemore, Thurles and Urlingford.

A branch railway line connects Limerick, Nenagh and Roscrea to the main line at Ballybrophy (for trains between Dublin Heuston and Cork). There are two trains M-Sa and one on Sunday, and travel time from Dublin is 90 min. Roscrea 52.96 -7.795 1 railway station is 500 m north of town centre: there are no facilities to collect online tickets here.

By car from Dublin follow N7 onto M7 (the first section to Naas has not yet been upgraded to motorway) then stay on M7 to N62 the Roscrea turnoff.

The town is easy enough to walk around. You need your own wheels for outlying accommodation and for sights in the nearby villages.

• Black Mills nearby on Church St is a restored watermill, included in the castle admission. Within is the original 12th-century St Cronan's High Cross.
• The Round Tower next to Black Mills was built around 1100. These distinctively Irish structures are believed to be bell towers for adjacent churches; they could serve as look-outs but were not primarily defensive. Roscrea's tower is only 20 m high: the top and conical cap were removed during 1798 "The Year of the French". Church Street nowadays cuts across the monastic site, and the Tesco just behind doesn't do much for the ambiance.
• St Cronan's 12th-century Romanesque church survives only in the west gable on Church St, the rest was demolished in 1812 when the present Anglican church was built. There's also a replica of the High Cross, the original being within Black Mills. St Crónán of Roscrea was the 7th-century founder of the nearby abbey, where an 8th century monk called Dimma MacNathi produced a beautifully-illustrated copy of the Gospels. This Book of Dimma is nowadays part of the Book of Kells display in Trinity College Dublin. The present church is a product of the "First Fruits" initiative to build more Protestant churches in Ireland by the neat trick of taxing the Catholics. See County Tipperary for more on this story.
• 52.953 -7.8 2 Roscrea Friary or Abbey was founded in the 15th century by Greyfriars (Franciscans). It was smashed at the Dissolution but the bell-tower remains, along with north and east walls.
• Roman Catholic Church of St Cronan's is a block south of the Friary on Convent St. Building started in 1843 but the Famine delayed things. It was dedicated in 1855 after a successful fund-raising tour of the USA.
• 52.948 -7.774 3 Sean Ross Abbey was the original site of St Crónán's monastery: living in a bog was great for solitude but was distinctly boggy, so they moved on to Roscrea. In 1750 Corville House was built here and was a family home to 1932; it then passed to the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, who ran a home for unmarried mothers and their babies until 1970. The babies were sent for adoption, mostly to the USA. Many mothers and babies lie in the graveyard known tweely as "The Angels Plot", which ducks the question of why so many died here. In 1971 the home became a school for children with special learning needs, still run by the Sisters.
• 52.946 -7.749 4 Monaincha Church is the remains of a 12th-century abbey, built on an island in Loch Cré (Monaincha means "bog island"). It's cited in 12th- and 13th-century texts as a place that no female can enter, even female birds or animals would instantly die. But the male inhabitants live forever, until they're so decrepid that they ask to be taken off in order to expire. The area has been drained for farmland and those mystic properties nowadays affect neither visitors to the church nor guests of the nearby spa.
• 52.88 -7.956 5 Moneygall is a village 14 km southwest of Roscrea, straddling the boundary with County Offaly . It was the ancestral home of Falmouth Kearney who emigrated to Ohio, and was maternal great-great-great grandfather of Barack Obama, 44th President of the USA. O'Bama, as he should surely be styled, visited in May 2011 and in Olie Hayes' pub the First Lady was taught how to pour a correct pint of Guinness. The brief spell of Obama tourism has been and gone — let's face it, he never opened a string of plush golf resorts like his successor — so the name mostly endures in the Obama Plaza service area, junction 23 of M7.
• 52.958 -7.7071 7 Ballaghmore Castle , Ballaghmore R32 K123 ( 8 km east of Roscrea ). Just across the boundary into County Laois, this sturdy five-storey tower was built in 1480 to control the Bealach Mor , the "great road" through Ossory. It was damaged by Cromwell's forces in 1647 but restored in the 19th century. It was then used as a granary and again fell into disrepair until 1990, when it was refurbished as a private residence. Much of its medieval structure is well-preserved, including a "Sheela na Gig" who, with arms akimbo, looks like she's dancing a jig. Tours by arrangement, and you can rent the whole place: the castle sleeps 15 and the manor house five. Adult €5, child €3 . ( updated Jun 2021 )
• 52.956 -7.786 1 Roscrea Leisure Centre , Old Dublin Rd , ☏ +353 505 23822 . M W F 7AM-9PM, Tu Th 9AM-9PM, Sa Su 10AM-6PM . Gym, weights, fitness classes, 25-m swimming pool with slides and kiddies and learner pools. ( updated Jul 2020 )
• 52.957 -7.751 2 Roscrea Golf Club , Rackethall , ☏ +353 505 21130 . White tees 5862 yards, par 71. 18 holes €20 . ( updated Jul 2020 )
• 52.8 -7.956 3 The Devil's Bit is a peak of 478 m (1570 ft) west of Templemore, and roughly equidistant from Roscrea, Thurles and Nenagh. It's usually climbed on its south side from the car park on R501. The legend goes that the devil took a bite out of it, broke his teeth, and spat out the lump which landed as the Rock of Cashel. The tower near the summit is a 19th-century folly. The large cross on the summit was erected in 1953-54.
• 53.1 -7.57 4 Slieve Bloom Mountains ( Sliabh Bladhma ) form the boundary with County Laois , and Roscrea is a good base for hiking their southern parts.

• Aldi and Tesco are a block north of the centre.
• The Whitehouse , Castle St , ☏ +353 505 21996 . Daily 9AM-11:30PM . Good dining option in town, better than your average bar meal. ( updated Jul 2020 )
• 52.887 -7.739 1 Fiacri House , Boolereagh Knock, Roscrea ( From town follow New Road, and good luck finding it amidst the bogs ), ☏ +353 505 43017 . Tu-Sa 6:30PM-midnight . Cookery school with its own restaurant, so they're on their mettle to shine. ( updated Jul 2020 )
• Town centre pubs are Delahunty's, Brendan's, Lily O'Briens and Stand Bar. Biddy's is south near the Abbey.
• 52.958 -7.777 1 Slí Dála B&B , Dublin Rd, Roscrea , ☏ +353 86 880 1233 . Friendly, clean, comfy B&B east of town. B&B double €80 . ( updated Jul 2020 )

As of June 2021, Roscrea has 4G from all Irish carriers, though the Vodafone signal is patchy outside town. 5G has not yet reached this area.

• North to Birr , a Georgian small town with the remarkable "Leviathan" telescope.
• South through the market town of Thurles to Cashel , with its medieval religious complex teetering on a crag.

Is a travel agent worth it the pros and cons.

Travel experts agree there are several advantages to hiring a vacation planner.

The Pros & Cons of Using a Travel Agent

Getty Images

Need to pivot your trip plans but don't want to deal with the extra time, money and hassle of rebooking flights and accommodations on your own? That's just one area where a knowledgeable travel agent (also commonly known as a travel advisor) can help.

Read on to discover the other benefits – as well as the downsides – of using a travel agent, so you can confidently decide whether or not a travel agent is worth it for your next trip.

The Pros of Using a Travel Agent

Travel agents can save you money – and get you other perks.

"In some cases, you'll actually get a better  deal by working with a travel agent," says Jackie Steele, travel expert at MagicGuides . "This could be in the form of a cruise onboard credit (free spending money to use on the ship), access to special agency/group rates, or even just learning about a discount you qualify for but weren't aware of." The best agents will even keep an eye on new discounts as they're announced and apply them to your trip even after you've booked, he notes.

Travel agents handle all the details

Hotel room? Booked. Dinner reservations? Made. Tour tickets? Ready to go. A travel agent handles every detail of your vacation itinerary. "The traveler still gets to be involved in the fun part of dreaming up ideas and providing their travel wishes, while we take and perfect them," says Jessica Parker, founder of Trip Whisperer .

Molly McShea, owner and travel advisor at McShea Travel , points out that travel agents can also help with timing logistics. "Travel agents know how many days should be spent in each destination, which tours go together, and how many things you should do in a day," she says, adding that crafting an itinerary can be challenging if it's not something you regularly do. Additionally, travel agents can help you choose the best time to visit your preferred destination(s) based on seasonality and your budget, and sift through travel insurance policies to find the best option for your needs.

Travel agents can provide local expertise

"A travel advisor's industry connections and relationships provide added value to their clients," says Valerie Edman, a luxury travel advisor and agency owner at Cultured Travel LLC. She says when working with a travel agent, travelers gain access to a global network of connections including:

• In-destination specialists who work exclusively with travel advisors and can connect travelers with unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences they wouldn't otherwise know about
• Exclusive experiences not available to the general public

You'll avoid surprise fees

When deciding if a travel agent is worth it for you, remember this: A reputable agent can guarantee you won't encounter any surprise fees on accommodations and activities once your trip is booked.

You'll have someone to troubleshoot unexpected travel issues

A travel advisor is essentially your personal vacation concierge. "Because they've been around for so long, agents really know what to look for," says Christopher Elliott , a consumer advocate and journalist. "Travel agents are among the first to know about flight cancellations and delays , making it easy for them to rebook itineraries right away."

The Cons of Using a Travel Agent

It might not be your cheapest option.

There are some instances when it makes more sense to plan your own trip. "If you're planning a quick flight from New York City to Los Angeles, it's easy enough to book it yourself online directly or through a third-party booking site," says Elliott. "If you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip or bucket list honeymoon , that's when you call the experts."

You'll have less flexibility in your itinerary

The upside of working with a travel agent is having someone plan an epic vacation for you based on industry knowledge and local expertise. But this can also be a downside in the event you discover an activity you'd like to do or a restaurant you'd like to try that isn't on your pre-planned itinerary. If you alter your plans, you risk losing money; plus, the time it takes for you and your travel agent to coordinate your change of plans may not be worth the hassle.

You still have to do some research

It's important to find an agent you can trust, which means you still have to do some of the vacation planning. For this part, Parker recommends picking up the phone. "Lots of people avoid or don't pick up the phone as much anymore," she says. "That's where you get the high-touch service, tone of voice, excitement or concerns to manage." She advises to look for the following red flags:

• No fees: " Travel advisors are charging planning fees more now or increasing them, so the client knows more confidently than ever, we work for them, not the suppliers with the best commissions," Parker explains. "There are a lot of things that are non-commissionable and the advisor's time and expertise shouldn't be given away for free, either. That's the best way to show an advisor takes their business seriously."
• Limited options: If you work with someone who is inexperienced or has an incentive to book you with a certain supplier, they may not be prioritizing your best interests. "It's important to check if they are with a larger consortia, accreditations and network, typically listed on their website and signatures," says Parker. "That level of mindshare doesn't come with a lone advisor unless they have many, many years of experience."
• Slow response times: If communication is delayed, that's a sign they may be too busy to plan your trip – but again, this is something you can avoid by having the right conversations early on.

Edman suggestes starting your search with the American Society of Travel Advisors . "ASTA-verified travel advisors are committed to the highest industry standards and have verifiable industry knowledge so consumers can feel confident in working with them," she says.
