MYTHS, LEGENDS AND FOLKLORE OF IRELAND (8 Days / 7Nights)

 Folklore occupies an important place in Irish society. The legends, myths and stories of the past tell the tale of a vibrant and unique society populated with courageous heroes, bold heroines, powerful Gods, Godesses and mighty Kings. By travelling through the mystical Irish landscapes, your imagination will be revived and you will discover ancient sacred sites, old ring forts and early Christian settlements.

These epics have left an indelible mark on the Irish people and their Culture and Arts. What we know of Irish mythology comes from stories written by the monks in the 12th century. Until then, stories were passed along in the great oral tradition passed on from one generation to another. The stories are about brave and strong warriors, druids and poets, betrayal and duty, rights and responsibilities. All the elements for a good story-telling session are there!
