About this event

Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls! Experience Dublin's mysterious legends and myths on this 90 minute walking 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. This is an important element of Ireland’s oral histories, which in turn have coloured its popular histories and left many legends for us to parse over today.
