12-Nights Romantic Ireland

Killarney

Developed by Lord Kenmare as a tourist town in the 18th century, Killarney is now the major tourist centre and accommodation base in Kerry. It is the centre for the Ring of Kerry tour, the focal point for the Killarney National Park and the Kerry Way Walking Trail.

Cashel (Tipperary)

Cashel, located in County Tipperary, was once the seat of the Kings of Munster. The town lives an enchanted life under the protection of the Rock of Cashel. This cluster of medieval monuments rises dramatically out of Tipperary's Golden Vale. As you make your approach to the City of the Kings you suddenly get a glimpse of the fairytale site the Rock of Cashel, which was hallowed by Kings and ecclesiastics long before the dawn of written records. Conquerors also paid unwarranted visits to this historical site and now thousands of visitors explore the ancient ruins. The architecture of the buildings reflects the aspirations of the people. While the Rock may dominate the landscape, Cashel was home to numerous religious orders for centuries, and the interesting ruins of the 13th century Cistercian and Dominican Abbeys may be explored close by.
