Join Knox College alumni, parents, and friends for an unforgettable journey across Ireland—a land of lyrical landscapes, ancient history, and warm hospitality.
Begin your adventure in Dublin, where the elegant halls of Trinity College and the artistry of the Book of Kells capture centuries of Irish spirit. From there, trace the island’s western edge to Galway, pausing to wander through the serene ruins of Clonmacnoise and stand in awe before the Cliffs of Moher.
Wander Donegal’s rolling woodlands and rugged coasts before crossing into Northern Ireland. Walk the storied walls of Derry, reflect at the Museum of Free Derry, and witness nature’s artistry at the Giant’s Causeway. A tour of the historic Bushmills Distillery and time in Belfast—with its rich blend of culture, history, and resilience—brings the experience to a memorable close.
