Mitchelstown CaveBurncourt,Cahir,Co Tipperary,IrelandOne of Europe's major show caves, discovered in 1833 by Michael Condon who was quarrying limestone when his crowbar slipped into a crevasse. He removed a few boulders to retrieve the bar, next minute he found himself looking down into a vast network of passages and caverns. In order to protect the caves natural state guided tours were quickly organised. Tours were conducted through the cave by candlelight until 1972 when it was the first cave in Ireland to be electrified. Today on the guided tour you visit three massive caverns in whichyou are surrounded by indescribable drip stone formations and one of Europe's finest columns the inspiring Tower of Babel which stands some 9 m in height.
