Myths & Legends

Introduction

Touch the right finger of a 400-year-old nun, and you’ll have good luck, touch the wrong one and, well...Noelle and Hilary get a little spooked at St Michan’s crypt in Dublin. Meanwhile, Padraic  in Connemara spins a yarn about dreams, rainbows and the elusive a pot of gold. If only! Turning back time, Mick wanders through an ancient Kilkenny battlefield at Kells Priory; while Fermanagh men, Johnny and Irvine , clamber up a 6th-century tower built by monks to defend against marauding Vikings! Yes, you can run in a giant’s footsteps, stand at the entrance to the otherworld at the Seat of the High Kings - but remember, don’t be taken in by all you hear in the mythical island of Ireland!
