Well, Tipperary is one of the most peaceful places I know. There is a famous river called the 'River Suir' which is located in Thurles, and also there are mountains whose names I forgot that surround Tipperary. Thurles is actually suited on the river, we can call it that. Horse riding as far as I know is popular especially in the Suir Valley. And as you said Thurles has a very good agricultural land and is still a farming community, except that now tourism has its effects on the valley. I also know that some Gaelic games are popular. Hope that would be helpful.
