IRELAND’S ANCIENT EAST

Five thousand years of history reverberate in this region of big houses, grand castles, ancient maritime ports and megalithic tombs, and the richness of the culture helps you to reconnect with what it truly means to be Irish.

Walking throughout the region helps show just how diverse it is, whether you’re exploring the ancient settlements in the Cavan Burren, hiking through the lush uplands of south Tipperary or walking among the monastic settlement of Clonmacnoise, Co Offaly, where the legacy of St Kieran lives on.

It’s a place where you can walk by the sea, through mountains and into the heart of the vast peatland plains that characterise the midlands.
