"Following Lugh"
exploring the Green Man legends through the incarnations of Lugh in Ireland

This is a new tour that we are introducing from August until the end of this year, and through all of 2008

Through this tour we focus on lesser visited sites and legends of Northern Ireland and its adjoining counties over the border. The theme is following the incarnations of Lugh and his “green man” guides such as Cernunnos, Derg Corra, Puck and Herne.

This is a tour that reflects today’s concerns for conservation and sustainability through the wisdoms of the ancient past. We visit many moorland stone circles, woodland sacred places and revel in the company of bards, poets, jesters and debaters.

This is a tour to explore our commitment as stewards rather than owners. Though this tour seems dedicated to the worlds men it provides a wonderful time for women who either carry the sword for their family, enjoy the company of men and their passions or wish to express their own male spirit within.

This is a fun packed tour for anyone, men and women, where you’ll wonder if Lugh’s name is short for “Laughs”.

This vacation is available all year round.
You can book for as many days that interest you.
We can arrange your entire all Ireland vacation.
