History & Heritage
Known as the Land of Saints and Scholars, Ireland’s past has many turbulent tales to reveal. Getting to know Ireland means getting to know its history, and for every landmark you visit there’s a tale to tell
The country’s hills and valleys have seen Neolithic farmers clear the land, and fugitives hide in its woods; its plains have witnessed great armies massing ready for combat.
And its furthest flung islands, like the Skelligs and the Blaskets off the coast of Kerry, have sheltered monks who turned Ireland into the Land of Saints and Scholars – for a time the very centre of Christianity in Europe.
