South EastThis is an area of contrasts, from the coasts of Waterford and Wexford through the agricultural heartlands of Tipperary and Carlow to the rich Norman heritage of Kilkenny. Fondly referred to by the 'Irish' as the 'Sunny South East', the region is famous for its vibrant towns, rural getaways and coastal villages and resorts. The landscape of the South East comprises a mix of rolling hills, woodlands and farmlands, picturesque river valleys of the Blackwater, Barrow, Nore, Suir and Slaney. Visitors from overseas are attracted by the richness and variety of heritage sites in the South East. Kilkenny Castle and the Rock of Cashel are amongst most visited sites. Likewise the Irish National Heritage Park and the Dunbrody Heritage Ship in the county of Wexford draw a huge number of visitors. Craft and culture enthusiasts flock to the Waterford Crystal Visitor Centre to marvel as they view master cutters create the world famous glassware.
Secluded spots along the coast or nestled into the hills also make it one of the most romantic parts of the country, so find your very own hideaway and escape from it all. And if that doesn’t appeal, then head to Kilkenny where the pubs are plentiful, the music’s great and the enjoyment is legendary.
