On this tour we explore
the beautiful southeast corner of Ireland. An area of Ireland
rich in medieval heritage, stunning scenery, and beautiful
coastline. A part of the country perhaps a little less
discovered, which gives us enormous potential for a labyrinth of
unexplored backroads. Our tour takes us into the heart of
Tipperary before winding up in the beautiful medieval city of
Kilkenny.
