My homeland is a place full of history, mythology and culture as well as varied and breathtaking scenery and I’d love to share it with you.
This is the land of saints and scholars that has castles, abbeys, grand country houses, old churches, battle sites, ancient monuments and burial sites, Norman mottes along with the most beautiful beaches and of course, stories galore of Celtic warriors and the fairy folk. We have music, dancing and wonderful food that you can wash down with locally crafted beer, gin or uisce beatha (whiskey, the water of life).
In addition to designing a bespoke genealogy tour itinerary, you have the choice as to whether you would like Roots Revealed to arrange optional extras such as visiting hidden gems that are off the beaten track, trying your hand at making potato bread, visiting a local working farm, listening to the ‘brattle’ of the lambegs at a drumming match, tasting an artisan whiskey or joining the locals at a traditional music session (all subject to availability).
You’ll be in good hands with the services of a qualified and fully insured tour guide. For more information about qualifications and professional memberships, please see our About page.
