DAY 4
Ireland's Ancient Past The Boyne Valley

Today we head north to the Boyne Valley, birthplace of Irelands Ancient East.The Boyne Valley is situated in the east of Ireland. It is at once Ireland’s ancient capital and it’s most sacred and mythical landscape. County Meath is known as the Royal County and derives its name from the Second Century AD as a territory for the High Kings. The Boyne Valley is probably one of the most interesting areas in Ireland to visit. The massive megalithic tombs and passage graves at Newgrange, Knowth, Dowth and the Royal site at the Hill of Tara, Tailteann, the site of the Great Aonach which continued tri-annually for over 3,000 years. Tara's initial importance increased when 20th-century archaeologists identified pre-Iron Age monuments and human-built habitable forms from the Neolithic period (roughly 5,000 years ago). Return to hotel. Free for dinner of your choice in Dublin city

DAY 5
The Wicklow Mountains and St Kevin

Today we head south to County Wicklow. Enjoy the spectacular drive through the Wicklow Mountains as we head to Glendalough. The Glendalough Valley was carved out by glaciers during the Ice Age and the two lakes, from which Glendalough gets its name, were formed when the ice eventually thawed. The Valley is home to one of Ireland’s most impressive monastic sites founded by St. Kevin in the 6th Century. Situated in the Wicklow Mountains, this breathtakingly stunning National Park, is a haven for wildlife and their habitats, flora and fauna From golf to cycling to hillwalking there so much on offer in Glendalough and the surrounding area.

The Grandeur of Powerscourt Estate and Gardens

The mansion was designed around the medieval castle in the style of Palladian architecture and featured baroque dome-roofed towers on either side, giving it in the words of one architectural historian, “The massive dignity of a great Italian Renaissance villa.” Powerscourt was awarded third best garden in the world by the prestigious National Geographic Magazine.

Kildare and The Curragh

The horse has been a important part of life in the Irish countryside for thousands of years and today this landscape of deep-green pastures comprises the heart of her world-famous bloodstock and racing industries.
