Ireland’s Ancient East is a new campaign that offers visitors a view of a different Ireland. A new guidebook by Neil Jackman showcases 100 sites across the region, from Carlingford in County Louth, through the Boyne Valley of County Meath, into the heartlands of Tipperary and Kilkenny before ending up at Blarney Castle in Cork. 
Visit sites such as Clonmacnoise, Newgrange and the Rock of Cashel, as well as a large number of hidden gems like Athassel Priory in Tipperary, Gaulstown Dolmen in Waterford and Loughcrew Passage Tombs in Meath. With easy-to-follow maps and specially commissioned photographs, this is the first guide to Ireland’s Ancient East.

"Around practically every corner on Ireland's eastern coast you can discover millennia of history and archaeology, dating back to the first days after glaciers released their frozen grip on the country at the end of the last Ice Age", Jackman says. "Each county in the Ancient East had its own unique story to tell".
