Ancient East

Spanning the East coast from Northern Ireland, down to the city of Cork, you will find the birthplace of Irish culture. Over 5,000 years of history is hidden amongst the countryside and towns of this region. Here you will also find ancient mysteries and millennia-old myths. Some recommendations include Mount Congreve House and Gardens where you will find one of the greatest gardens in the world; The Rock of Cashel, where the most impressive cluster of medieval buildings are on show or head to the coast and Hook Lighthouse, the world’s oldest intact operational lighthouse.
