There will be four different categories of places to explore - prehistoric sites such as Newgrange and the Brownshill dolmen in Carlow will take you to Ancient Ireland and the early Christian period will be showcased at the likes of Clonmacnoise, Glendalough and Mellifont Abbey. Trim Castle, Hook Head lighthouse and the Rock of Cashel will represent Medieval Ireland and Anglo Ireland will be seen at a number of the great houses and gardens from the period.
