Walshpark

Walshpark (Doire Leathan in Irish) [1] is a townland in the historical Barony of Ormond Lower, County Tipperary, Ireland. It is located south of the staggered junction where the R438 and R489 roads meet. It is within the civil parish of Dorrha in the north of the county. The name comes from the Walsh family who made their home here in the 18th and 19th centuries.[2]

Buildings of note

Derrylahan Park, built for Willian Henry Head in 1862 to designs by T N Deane stood in Walshpark until 1921. All that remains is the main gateway, a gate house and farm buildings, all visible from the R438 road south west of its junction with the R489.[3][4]
