County Wexford, in Ireland’s south-east corner, has a maritime past going back to the Vikings. Nowadays it’s a peaceful and tranquil land, with sandy beaches, fertile pasture, isolated mountain ranges and ancient sites. Our holiday base, Enniscorthy, is a quiet hilltop town with a picturesque setting above the River Slaney and to help you soak up the traditional Celtic flavours of this special part of Ireland, this holiday features four nights entertainment - including a special ‘Riverdance’ show and a 'Guinness Experience' night at your hotel.

SUNDAY
From local departure points we travel to Wales for our overnight stop.

MONDAY
We head for the Welsh coast and the ferry crossing to Ireland, and on to Enniscorthy and Treacy's Hotel in time for evening dinner.

TUESDAY
Free day at Enniscorthy. Look forward to an included Celtic Roots 'Riverdance' Show at your hotel in the evening.

WEDNESDAY
A visit to Kilkenny, once the capital of Ireland, a well preserved ancient city with a restored castle, a 13th century cathedral, narrow alleyways and a retained atmosphere of its Celtic past. We return by a scenic route, skirting the Blackstairs Mountains.

THURSDAY
A full day tour, first to the historic harbour town of Waterford, with its medieval city walls, picturesque quayside and thousand year old Reginald's Tower. In the afternoon we enjoy a scenic tour along the magical Emerald Coast through to the seaside resort of Tramore and onward to the old fishing port of Dungarvan where there are pleasant views across the expansive harbour.

FRIDAY
This morning we make our way to Dublin, with free time to explore Ireland's 'Fair City'. This afternoon we return with an enchanting journey through the mythical Wicklow Mountains. We visit the stunning vista of Glendalough and the Wicklow Gap before continuing towards the famous Meeting of the Waters - immortalised by the Irish poet Thomas Moore - and the beautiful Vale of Avoca.

SATURDAY
Leaving Enniscorthy, we head for our ferry to Wales and onwards to our final night.
