A South East castle has been crowned Ireland's True Hidden Gem.

Farney Castle in County Tipperary came out top of the 20 hidden gems ranked by Polestar.

Their study looked at TikTok, Instagram and TripAdvisor data to find the top-rated spots for each county. The lower the views on social media, the more 'hidden' the gem was.

The South East was well represented, with six of the top 20 coming from the region.
