This tour takes you through some of the most historic areas in Ireland.
From 5000 year old the burial chambers at Newgrange to the mansions built in the Celtic Tiger era. Newgrange is a prehistoric burial ground about 40 miles from Dublin City. It is also not far from the Boyne Valley and the Hill of Tara, which is steeped in Irish history and once the home of the High King of Ireland – Brian Boru. Along the eastern coast, you will pass Carlingford Lough – a town famous for its music and annual oyster festival.
The route takes you out of Dublin on quiet back roads through the farm lands that feeds the city to the beautiful and historic Boyne Valley. On roads undiscovered by tourists the route heads north through the spectacular Cooley Mountains to the medieval town of Carlingford. Returning to Dublin through the rich pasture lands of Meath and Kildare the route passes the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland at Tara.
