An open-air museum spanning 9,000 years of Irish history across 35 acres of woodland, wetland and riverbank — where you can walk from a Stone Age campsite to a Viking boatyard in a single afternoon.
Explore the full timeline of Irish settlement, from the Middle Stone Age campsite and Megalithic Tomb to the Crannog lake dwelling, Viking boatyard and Norman Castle. Colour-coded trails guide you through Prehistoric Ireland, Early Christian Ireland and the Age of Invasion.
Costumed guides lead three free tours daily: Pre-Historic Ireland (30 min), Early Christian Ireland (30 min), and Age of Invasion (40-45 min). You can join one or stay for all three. Tours run at set times from March to August.
