Visit the Hill of Ward/ Tlachtga
The birthplace of Halloween. It is here that Samhain began. Samhain was said to mark the harvest and a time of transition, with feasting and celebration as the long winter nights approached. It incorporates aspects of Celtic Irish, Scottish and Welsh customs. Just a 15 minute walk from the hotel or a 5 minute drive. Learn all about our event Tlachtga Abhaile here.
