Ireland’s Ancient East

Ireland’s Ancient East

On the back of the success of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, the east coast of Ireland now too has something about which it can brag – Ireland’s Ancient East. Unlike the Wild Atlantic Way, this is described as a touring region rather than a touring route connecting Irelands ancient megalithic sites, our folk tales, the dark ages through to the Anglos Saxon period. It is a time that’s spread over 5000 years of history, so don’t expect to see it all over 1 weekend.

Cork on the south coast is the fulcrum that connects both Ireland’s Ancient East and the Wild Atlantic Way and is the simultaneous gateway to both regions.
