Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour Dublin

About This Tour

Ireland has a unique relationship with its legendary past. Kept alive in the histories of the Filí and the Seanchaidhe, Ireland’s gods were not destroyed but - in the words of Mark Williams - demoted to lesser beings.

On the other side of Irish history we have the ballrooms, the salons, and the private studies of Dublin’s litterati. The mysteries and the macabre all combining into the secret esoteric orders that strove to unlock the secrets of existence.

Come explore with us where these two elements fuse to create the wonderful world of Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls that are just as much a part of Dublin’s history as any of its citizens and buildings…
