For those who love to peel back the layers of time, Ireland’s Ancient East is a wonderful opportunity to experience 5,000 years of European history in a compact area of Ireland. Get off the beaten track to see, hear, touch and feel the imprints of the millennia of settlers in this land. Ancient Man, Early Christians, Medieval Lords, Colonial Settlers and their descendants
have all been seduced by

these most lush, green and fertile lands. Take your time to discover it all – the Stone Age art, the monasteries, the castles and fortresses.
