Take a break from the hustle and bustle of Dublin and discover nature and some medieval Irish architecture and folklore on a day trip to the Wicklow Mountains, Kilkenny and Glendalough.

Aboard a luxury coach, you'll take a day trip to the top sights in south-east Ireland, including Kilkenny Castle, the Wicklow Mountain National Park, and Glendalough’s medieval monastic settlement. This tour also includes a stop at the foot of the Wicklow Mountains, where you'll be able to see border collies corral sheep across the fields.

You'll take the scenic route through the Wicklow Mountains National Park en route to Glendalough and its monastic settlement and medieval archeology.
