Welcome to the sixth issue of Heritage Ireland, bringing you news and features on Ireland’s wonderful heritage sites and cultural institutions.
Summer has finally arrived and so begins a busy season for our heritage sites and cultural institutions. At the end of August, we are expecting over 450,000 people to participate in over 2,000 heritage events being organised as part of National Heritage Week. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to get involved, or to plan a visit to a variety of heritage sites around the country that have opened their doors over the summer months. To help you to decide where to go, we have features on a selection of heritage sites across the country, including Knowth, Co Meath, the Pearse Museum in Dublin, Timahoe Round Tower in Co. Laois and the sites associated with the Williamite War - Casino Marino, Rathfarnham Castle, Castletown House and, of course, the Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centre.
