Description

Explore the lush Golden Vale, Ireland’s most fertile pastureland and home to the world-famous Kerrygold Butter. This private, fully customisable tour takes you through charming Irish towns, breathtaking landscapes, and centuries of history. This journey brings Ireland’s past and present to life in a way that’s both engaging and unforgettable. Start your tour with a visit to Cahir Castle, one of Ireland’s largest and best-preserved castles. Built in the 13th century, this medieval stronghold features towering battlements and a well-preserved keep. Learn about the castle's fascinating history of sieges and noble families, and see where it was featured in Excalibur (1981) and other productions. Next, head to the Rock of Cashel, one of Ireland’s most famous historic sites. Once the seat of the High Kings of Munster, this spectacular site offers stunning medieval architecture, including Cormac’s Chapel, a Round Tower, and a Gothic Cathedral. Learn about the legends of St. Patrick, who is said to have converted the King of Munster here, and take in unforgettable views over Ireland’s lush countryside. Continue to the Rock of Dunamase, a Viking and Norman stronghold. Once a Viking-raided Christian settlement, the Rock of Dunamase later became a vital Anglo-Norman fortress. Set atop a dramatic hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, as well as the ruins of a medieval castle with fascinating historical significance. This is your tour! While these are the most popular stops, you can tailor the itinerary to suit your interests. Just let the guide know what you’d like to see, and they’ll craft a personalized adventure just for you.
