This morning we bid farewell to Dublin and travel south to County Kildare – the center of Ireland’s horse breeding industry, where we will enjoy a guided tour of the Irish National Stud Farm.
Since it bred its first winner MINORU in 1909, the stud farm at Tully has continued to produce many famous race horses.
Also on the grounds of the Stud Farm are The Japanese Gardens renowned for their symbolism of “The Life of Man” and St. Fiacre commemorative garden.
From here we continue to Cashel where we will take a guided tour of the amazing Rock of Cashel. This was the seat of the Kings of Munster from 370 – 1101 and has early associations with St. Patrick. The group of medieval buildings includes a 12th century Round Tower, a 13th century Gothic Cathedral, a 15th century High Cross and Romanesque Chapel.
From here we travel to Kinsale, a historic fishing town on the southern coastline of County Cork with old cobble stone streets and many interesting shops and pubs. It is also renowned for its restaurants and is known as the gourmet capital of Ireland.
