Take in the breathtaking scenery of the mountains and lakes, and uncover the history of Glendalough at the visitor centre. We continue westward, making a pitstop in the serene market town of Kilcullen for a lunch break. We then take in the Rock of Dunamase and its castle ruins, situated at an advantageous defensive point overlooking the ancient plains of County LaoisFinally, we brave the winds of County Kerry and set foot onto the rugged Dingle Peninsula, where Irish language and culture reign supreme.

Day 2 Exploring the Dingle Peninsula
We spend the day exploring the wild and windswept Dingle Peninsula and the Wild Atlantic Way - one of the world's most stunning coastlines. The Dingle Peninsula is rich in culture, history, and heritage, which the locals protect and are eager to share with visitors. Our expert tour guide will show you the most notable sites on the peninsula, including Conor Pass, Tochar Maothaithe, Gallarus Oratory and Slea Head, home to a series of ancient forts and dwellings. We also see the ancient and mysterious beehive huts, spherical and made of stone. The houses are believed to date back to somewhere between the eighth and twelfth centuries. They are thought to have been used as dwellings by the hermit monks and followers of Saint Peter, though nobody is absolutely certain! After our day of exploring we return to Dingle, where the evening is at leisure - time for dinner in a cosy pub and a Guinness or two?

There is free time for lunch in Killarney before we drive on to the Rock of Cashel. This incredible group of medieval buildings includes a cathedral and Round Tower, all perched dramatically on a hilltop - just imagine what it looked like in its heyday!
