The Vee – Clogheen, Co. Tipperary Ireland.
Glad to be back after an extended break from YouTube. The Vee’ refers to a V-shaped turn on the road leading to a gap in the Knockmealdown mountains. The Vee itself is on the Sugar Loaf, but the pass from Tipperary to Waterford runs between Knockaunabulloga (on which you will find Bay Lough) and the Sugar Loaf.
The Vee is predominantly famous because of the breathtaking panoramic views afforded to travellers and sight seers going through the pass. The journey rises to about 2,000 feet (610m) above sea level above Bay Lough, and as it does so it gives wonderful views of a portion of the ‘Golden Vale’  between the Knockmealdown and Galtee Mountain Ranges.
On a clear day (or night) the Vee affords views along and across the valley to Clonmel, Cahir, Ardfinnan, Clogheen, Ballyporeen and even Cashel.
It is also famous as the resting place of Samuel Grubb, whose grave, known as Grubb’s Grave or Grubb’s Monument, stands looking across the Vee Valley.
Grubb’s Grave, which stands on a bare hillside with panoramic views over the Suir Valley, two miles to the east of Clogheen in Co. Tipperary. This is an odd beehive-shaped structure of rubble stone. It contains the mortal remains of one Samuel Grub of Castle Grace, whose request to be buried standing upright was carried out after his death in 1921.”the scenic mountain drive will take you past Bay Lough to Lismore and Cappoquin in county Waterford as well as the famous Mount Melleray Abbey. A special thanks to Tomas O' Sullivan {Tomas - Aerials } for showing me around.
