Come and explore the many and varied heritage sites Ireland has to offer. Discover Ireland’s Parks, Monuments, Gardens, Inland Waterways, and National Cultural Institutions.

Heritage Island

The Heritage Island website brings together over 90 of Ireland's Visitor Attractions and Heritage Towns. Our centres range from ancient abbeys, medieval castles and historic houses to museums, interpretative centres, gardens and folk parks. Each one has a different story to tell, or takes a new look at old traditions. Some reflect the glories of Ireland long ago, others portray the history and culture of our own time – all are entertaining, informative and fun to visit.

Heritage Towns Of Ireland

Irish towns have an inviting cosiness, because their size and human scale make you feel immediately at home. Most developed their present aspect in the course of the nineteenth century, but their origins often go back much further. Some have their roots in old Celtic monasteries, or were founded by the Normans or even the Vikings, while others grew up where markets made it opportune - or at seaside locations where people simply liked to bathe. But what is surely common to them all is that each breathes an atmosphere of its own.

But - don't forget one thing! Towns are not just bricks and mortar. Their spirit is the people who make them come alive and who will welcome you warmly to enjoy and share their proud heritage with them.
