The town boasts an array of shops and independent boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. After lunch we will then make our way to Clonmacnoise, a remote spot by the River Shannon to see the ancient ruins of the 6th century Clonmacnoise Monastery, one of Ireland’s most important monastic sites.  Please Note:  appropriate footwear is necessary, some low doorways and uneven floors.

 

DAY THREE – Kilbeggan Distillery Experience, Guided Tour and Tasting

Today we visit the Kilbeggan Distillery, where we will enjoy a full immersive experience at Ireland’s oldest licensed distillery.  The Kilbeggan Distilling Company has seen its share of trials and triumphs. Founded in 1757, the distillery spent the next 200 years making a whiskey beloved the world over. So, when tough times ground its gears to a halt, the town came together to save the whiskey that built the town. It wasn’t quick or easy, but they persevered. Today, every bottle produced stands as proof that the spirit of Kilbeggan never wavered.
