Ancient Ireland

Discover Wildlife

Step back in time into an ancient woodland and immerse yourself in the world of Ireland’s lost wildlife. Walk under a canopy of trees in the Celtic Rainforest and encounter brown bears, wolves, lynx, and wild boar—animals that once roamed this land. Through hunting and habitat destruction, much of Ireland’s biodiversity has vanished, posing a serious challenge to our planet’s future. Wild Ireland, a Wildlife Park, is on a mission to change this through Education, Conservation, and Rescue, inspiring the children of today to become the conservationists of tomorrow.

“We don’t inherit the earth, we borrow it from our children” — Chief Seattle.
