Departing from Carrick-On-Shannon, your guide at Granny Betty's Irish Tours will help you discover the magic of Ireland's Hidden Heartlands.

Your first stop is Rathcroghan Royal Complex, the royal homestead of the warrior queen Medb, with a guided tour of the exhibition to learn a wealth of mythology, history, and literature of Gaelic Ireland.

Next stop is the Strokestown Park House. Prior to the tour of the house, enjoy a break for lunch, where you can try some home-cooked food and desserts made fresh every day at the house.

There is a full tour with an expert guide of this 1740s original manor house, who'll teach you all about the family that once lived there. This is followed by a trip to the National Famine Museum on the grounds, to explore life in Ireland during the Great Famine.

Please note: Lunch is not included in the tour price.
