Discover the Irish love of horse racing at the Irish National Stud and the joys of the neighbouring Japanese Gardens, explore the Rock of Cashel, this iconic landmark sitting prominently on a limestone outcrop in the Golden Vale. The city of Kilkenny is not only one of Ireland’s best preserved cities, but is full of stories and history, with its 12th century castle, historic pubs and enchanting cobbled streets and alleys.
Head towards the southern coastlines and County Wexford has many associations with the Kennedy Dynasty and the Famine Ship at Dunbrody tells the tale of emigration with guided tours and costumed interpreters. Visit Waterford with its Viking heritage and treasures. Of course it is also home to Waterford Crystal, one of the world’s most famous crystalware producers, before following the Copper Coast to the harbour town of Dungarven.
