Explore the Myths and Legends of Ireland in a Celtic Campervan
Ireland is steeped in mythological history and folklore. The myths and legends of this beautiful and intriguing country have spread around the world, but the storytelling only really comes alive as you travel around the country to the very places where these legends are said to have taken place. There is no better way to discover the ancient sites of these spine-tingling tales than with motorhome rental in Ireland from Celtic Campervans - hitting the open road for a legendary adventure.
Folklore is one of the cornerstones of Irish cultural heritage, and little wonder given the amazing tales that make up this country's ancient past. Indeed, it is so rich in myths and legends that there's no end of choice when it comes to planning your adventure in a motorhome in Ireland. Once you've been collected from Dublin airport by one of the friendly Celtic Campervans team, and collected your luxury motorhome from close nearby, why not check out the historical gems that the city of Dublin has to offer, from the National Museum housing ancient Celtic artefacts and Christian relics to Trinity College where you'll find the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript that dates back to the 9th century.
Having set the scene for some historical exploration, you could head west to Shannon in Galway and the Clonmacnois, a monastic settlement from the 6th century which has a museum that exhibits the very first Celt crosses. If you then want your campervan hire in Ireland to immerse you more in mythology than in historical fact, you can do no better than visiting the Aran Islands, the site of some of the first enclosures in Celtic times and a place that reverberates with mythical tales. Another spellbinding site is the Letterkenny's Carrowmore Cemetery and the nearby burial hill (so the legend goes) of Queen Medb, a female warrior and goddess at the heart of many an Irish folk tale.
Your tour of mythological Ireland wouldn't be complete without visiting the awe-inspiring Giant's Causeway in County Antrim, said to be built by the legendary figure Finn McCool in order to walk to Scotland to fight his nemesis. And as you make your way back from Northern Ireland down to Dublin once more, there is still a whole world of weird and wonderful folk tales and the places that inspired them to explore.
