Ireland Travel Guide

It is said that it is impossible to exaggerate the warmth of the welcome awaiting you in Ireland and, for once, the 'blarney' rings true. For all the magic of the Emerald Isle's scenic splendour, its ancient history and its folklore of leprechauns, fairies and banshees, it is the Irish charm and hospitality that you will remember most fondly.

Dublin with plenty to captivate all its visitors, is a compact, thriving and truly cosmopolitan city that's steeped in culture. Everyone who visits remembers the legendary craic and the exuberance of the people. But you should also take time to explore the streets of this safe and vibrant city with world-class attractions and a family friendly atmosphere.

Connemara and Leam offer outstandingly beautiful and varied seascapes, rivers, loughs, mountains and woodland with a host of leisure activities from pony-trekking to medieval banquets.

Waterville lies in the west of the Ring of Kerry close to Ballinskelligs Bay. Game, salmon and trout fishing are all available nearby, as is a championship 18-hole Golf Course. Picturesque Barna is just 5 km from Galway Town in an area of stunning natural beauty.

Situated on Killiney Hill, the town of Killiney provides the best of town and country, with splendid views of Dublin Bay and the Wicklow Mountains. Knocktopher is a tranquil village between Kilkenny and Waterford with opportunities for hunting, fishing and golf in the surrounding countryside.
