As the earliest capital of Ulster & ancient seat of kings, the Legendary Navan Fort (Emain Macha), is home to the warrior hero, Cuchulainn and the Red Branch Knights. Our fully guided tours explore & explain this vast history, supported by amazing archaeological finds & mythological tales.
Our family oriented Meet the Warriors tours (April-September) transport you back 2000 years as you are immersed in life as a Celt! Transform into a Celtic warrior with traditional costume & face paints, try spear-throwing, practice wielding your sword & shield and discover the stories of our greatest Kings, Queens & Warriors.
