Living history and timeless beauty

The East is one of the most varied regions on the island of Ireland, stretching from cosmopolitan cities to mesmerizing rural scenery. Urban playgrounds Dublin, Kilkenny and Cork lead the region in nightlife, festivals, events and decadent dining. While on their doorstep, lies landscapes of historic ruins, charming towns, rolling hills and river valleys. Counties Meath and Louth harbour the Boyne Valley, a cradle of fascination with passage tombs predating the Pyramids, historic battle sites with live re-enactments and castles doubling as movie sets and concert venues. Kildare is the horseracing heartland, with the National Stud, Curragh racecourse, and the Japanese Gardens. Wicklow National Park ‘s dramatic wilderness complements Glendalough’s monastic monuments. Prepare to be busy too. Whether swinging a club at the renowned golf courses, or swinging a shopping bag in Kildare. Racing fans meet at Punchestown and Laytown Strand, while cycling routes and walking festivals criss-cross the postcard-perfect countryside. The treasures of the East are waiting to be explored. The East Coast region incorporates parts of the following counties: Cavan, Monaghan, Dublin, Laois, Kildare, Meath, Louth, Wicklow, Tipperary South, East Cork, Cork City, Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford.
