Heritage sites, extensive lakelands, mountains and canals - the diversity of the Midlands-East region of Ireland may come as a surprise if you have not visited before.

The area consists of 8 counties: Kildare, Laois, Longford, Louth, Offaly, Meath, Westmeath and Wicklow - each with its own local attractions and differences, hence the diversity!

From the ancient Wicklow mountains to the precision of Newgrange, from the famous horse-country of Kildare to walks along the Grand Canal. Visit gardens and stately homes, play golf or go horse-racing.
