From there, swing inland toward the mountains, where you will see panoramic views of the beautiful Irish countryside.

At Arklow, join a touring coach for a journey through the Vale of Avoca, toward the village of Avoca.

Get to know this lovely town, also known as Ballykissangel, and see the local hand weavers at work, or drop into FitzGerald’s Bar for a typical Irish pint.

From there, you will continue with a visit to the ancient monastic settlement in stunning Glendalough, at the foot of Wicklow Mountains National Park. See the remarkable remains of this medieval monastery, first established in the 6th century. Finally, enjoy an exciting sheepdog demonstration, cuddle adorable lambs, and uncover the rich heritage of a four-generation family farm in beautiful Glendalough.

The tour returns by train to Dublin Connolly station, arriving at approximately 16:45.
