River
Valleys in an Ancient Land - the catchphrase of the sunny south eastern
corner of Ireland. Its colourful patchwork of fertile valleys and plains
are carved from an ancient landscape known down the centuries to invaders,
traders, explorers and visitors. Five counties - Carlow, Kilkenny, South
Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford - and five great rivers - the Barrow,
Blackwater, Nore, Suire and Slaney - criss-cross the countryside with
old stone bridges, picturesque villages, thatched cottages and peaceful
seaside
towns.
 |
This area is rich in history with castles and abbeys, fortresses and
settlements that recall the passage of the Celts, Vikings, Normans
and AngloSaxons.
Come and enjoy the challenges of angling on some of the cleanest waters
in Europe, or a round of golf on our famous' Sunshine Circuit' of
25 golf courses. |
There are 28 approved equestrian centres, numerous walking routes and cycling
trails, 60 or more visitor centres and a whole host of things to do in the
evening. Discover the friendly South East at your leisure - any time of
year. We'll make you feel very welcome.
