South East

The south East of Ireland has plenty of historical places of interest as well as some beautiful scenery and dramatic coastlines to discover. Whether you choose a coastal or inland route you will never be short of a reason to take a break from driving. On the coast of County is the wildlife sanctuary of the Saltee Islands. A haven for nesting birds including Puffins, Gannets and Manx Shearwaters. Population of Grey Seals and traces of habitation left by everyone from Neolithic man to 18th century smugglers. Lying 5km off the coast of Kilmore Quay, it’s only a short boat journey to reach this idyllic spot. Inland around Kilkenny you could visit Kilkenny Castle, striking building that reflects the many architectural styles that have come in and out of fashion since the building began 8 centuries ago. For the kids why not take them to Castlecomer Discovery Park where they have everything from craft workshops to tree top adventure courses set in 80 acres of woodland and lakes.
