Rich in culture and folklore, Ireland abounds with Celtic myth and legend, tragic heroes, storytelling, and literary genius. Begin your exploration of this storied land in the charming town of Ennis and visit the windswept Cliffs of Moher and the ancient dolmen of the Burren. Spend an evening listening to Eddie Lenihan, one of Ireland’s acclaimed storytellers. Travel along the famous Ring of Kerry, one of the most scenic routes in all of Ireland, and indulge in a glimpse of aristocratic life during an overnight stay at one of the country’s finest estates. Walk in the footsteps of high king Brian Ború at the Rock of Cashel before concluding in Dublin. Admire its Georgian architecture, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and fashionable Grafton Street.
