Specialized & Thematic Literary Tours to Ireland

Casterbridge offers the best literary tours to Ireland for student groups. We began as a tour operator offering private literary tours. This has long been a specialty for us and we have a wealth of experience and numerous contacts and resources. We can custom-design thematic literary tours or thematic days around any of the great authors or periods in Irish literature.

Your students can experience first-hand the landscapes and sites that influenced the creations of Ireland’s finest and most recognized authors, such as William Butler Yeats, Jonathan Swift, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett, and James Joyce.

Literary tours to Ireland offer your students an opportunity to visit sites that inspired great Irish novels, stories, and poetry, as well as museums and cultural centers that keep these words fresh and meaningful. Bring Irish literature to life, while at the same time inspiring your students. Who knows – you may have the world’s next great author with you on your tour!

In addition to sites associated with these authors, many groups like to read the literature on location or include a special event such as a Literary Banquet or a Literary Pub Crawl of Dublin. Any of these items can be included on any of our Irish literature tours.

Literary Focus: William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats is considered one of Ireland’s finest writers and we can offer a thematic day on the life and inspiration of Yeats on many of our Irish literature tours. Spend a relaxing day touring sites around the Sligo area, also known as “Yeats Country.” Read his poetry while you are standing at the exact sites that inspired it as you follow the Yeats Trail.

Sites include Dooney Rock, the Isle of Innisfree, Glencar Lough, and the Church of Ireland Cemetery where the great writer is buried and memorialized.

Local specialist guides will bring to life the works of Yeats whether on the Yeats Trail, at Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee outside Galway. The words in the textbook are certain to have greater meaning after seeing Ireland and the places that served as inspiration for one Ireland’s greatest writers.
