Ireland holidays

Ireland has both beauty and brains: picturesque villages and lively cities speckle its green blanket landscape, and urban centres Cork and Dublin have a cultural influence around the world.

Outdoor enthusiasts and history fans can tickle their interests with bucolic walks which pass by stone cottages or prehistoric monuments, such as the burial tombs found in the Boyne Valley. Wander though the door of any pub in the land and there may well be an impromptu fiddle and song session, or at least a sociable chat - the Irish love to talk.   

Cork in the south of the country is Ireland's second largest city and Corkonians enjoy a friendly banter with Dubliners over the significance of the city. The country's dynamic capital, Dublin, has utterly transformed over the last 20 years, and the Dublin of today is a luxury destination with upmarket shops and electric nightlife.
