- Overview
It's said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten, and for once the blarney rings true. The Irish landscape has a mythic quality, due as much to the country's almost tangible history as its claim to being the home of the fairies and the 'little people'. Sure, the weather may not always be clement, but the dampness ensures there are fifty shades of green to compensate - just one of the reasons Ireland is called the Emerald Isle.
Vibrant atmosphere in Dublin
The vibrant atmosphere of the lively city of Dublin makes it an inspirational short break choice. With thriving culture and rich heritage as well as great nightlife and plenty of 'craic', you're also near to soft green meadows and seaside towns offering a gentler pace. They say that the sunshine smiles on the South East corner of Dublin more than any other, and nature certainly displays her versatility across these constantly changing landscapes. There's as much to do as there is to see - your only decision will be what to do first!
A hollywood flim set
Holiday and filmmakers alike are compelled to return to the Cork and Kerry region, warmed by the tropical Gulf Stream and bathed by ever changing light. Enjoy the lively pubs and nightspots of Cork City of the gentle bays and glorious beaches of this spectacular coastline. We're sure too that you'll want to return.
Lush Tipperary meadows
A land of incredibly diverse landscapes, each county in the west of Ireland lends its own unique blend of ingredients. From the tranquil lakes of Mayo and the Midlands to Connemara's collection of 'Blue Flag' beaches and from the wild landscape of the Burren to Tipperary's lush meadows, this is a region that bombards the senses - and is certainly one to write home about! Although the 'Troubles' are far from over in the North, the recent referendum clearly signalled willingness for peace and a genuine solution may be in sight. Meanwhile, the South has been busy shedding its quaintness tag to emerge as the darling of EU economies and a favourite among high-tech companies. If the country isn't quite the paradise that is portrayed, it's nonetheless home to one of the most gregarious and welcoming people in Europe.
