At Carlingford Leprechaun and Fairy Cavern, in County Louth, all visitors will be greeted by McCoillte (Kevin Woods), the Leprechaun Whisperer who will introduce you to the story of the Last Leprechauns of Ireland.

The Leprechaun and Fairy Cavern is located in a folklore park on the shores of Carlingford Lough, County Louth. The experience begins with a fully seated introduction to the story, followed by a visit to the Leprechaun and Fairy Cavern below the earth.

The attraction is suitable for adults of any age, children accompanied by an adult, and private groups. Visits can take approximately one hour, but can take longer if there is a lot of group interaction.

As one of Ireland's unique experiences, the Leprechaun Whisperer and his story have been the subject of 28 television programmes, and several radio interviews from Russia to the USA, Australia and many countries in Europe.
