Irish
There's a lot to love about the Irish. After all, a worldwide reputation has to come from somewhere! But you'll find there's even more to adore when you join the Irish on their home turf for your Ireland holiday! For starters, they love any excuse to get together, be it donning the green for St Patrick's Day; or celebrating the talents of musicians around the country, from Kerry, Cork, Shannon and Mayo, up to Northern Ireland's capital Belfast, and down to Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland.
Ireland
Holidays in Ireland make it so easy to let the country's beauty capture your imagination. From the lush greens of the Republic of Ireland's Kerry, Cork and Waterford to the dramatic landscapes of Mayo and Galway, everything is guaranteed to take your breath away. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland is also blessed with a magnificently varied landscape, from the awe-inspiring Causeway Coastal Route to the glistening beauty of the Fermanagh Lakelands, the area is bursting with views to inspire and rejuvenate the soul.
Dublin
Easily one of the most enjoyable capital cities in the world, Dublin has a definite air of urban sophistication, but it has also retained a unique charm that is quintessentially Irish. Dublin's energy and dynamism are evident everywhere – from the pretty cobblestone streets and Georgian Squares to the larger pedestrian thoroughfares hosting glamourous stores,restaurants and some convivial Dublin pubs.
Mayo
Standing out as one of the most scenic counties in Ireland, Mayo is framed by the breathtaking Atlantic on the rugged West coast and is home to some of Ireland’s most important Christian heritage and historical sites. St Patrick, Ireland’s patron saint, spent 40 days and nights fasting at the top of Croagh Patrick near Westport. Further inland, Knock Shrine is where the Virgin Mary, St Joseph and St John the Evangelist appeared in 1879 – it's now an internationally recognised Marian Shrine. Bringing us further back in time, County Mayo’s historical Ceide Fields date back to 5000BC and are the oldest known field systems in the world...
Shannon
The longest river in Ireland, the Shannon takes its name from the Goddess Sionna. Fromthe Cuilcagh Mountain in County Cavan, the flowing waters becomes a magnificent river extending southwards for no less than 240 miles until it meets the salty waters of the Atlantic Ocean at Limerick City.
