There’s plenty to see to capture everyone’s imagination in Ireland, a country built on the bedrock of family. Guided walking tours along Irish footpaths, coastal beaches, and classic villages are nothing short of amazing. Take a guided tour by bicycle, horseback, bus, or on a boat, exploring Killarney's Lakes and Fells, Galway Bay, the historical Burren, the Aran Islands, or scenic Connemara. Routes can be developed for all ages and activity levels, as well as for those with special interests, such as religious sites, castle stays, pub visits, golfing, or spa retreats.
THE KERRY WAY
The Kerry Way, one of Ireland’s premiere walking routes, is the ideal way to explore the Iveragh Peninsula or the Ring of Kerry. The trail starts in Killarney and walks through the Killarney National Park and over the Lakes of Killarney to the remote Black Valley and Glencar. It will take 12 days to complete the 135-mile circular route, or the seven-night version covers 55 miles. The average walking time ranges from 5 to 7 hours per day at a leisurely pace.
CLONESHIRE POLO AND EQUESTRIAN CENTRE
An equestrian centre located on a 130-acre old walled estate more than 200 years old, the Clonshire Equestrian & Polo Centre in Adare specializes in show jumping, dressage, and cross-country. Visitors of all abilities are invited to join for a few days or for a weeklong program. Learn the sport of polo or simply ride through the countryside.
CORK WEEK
Held in July every two years, Cork Week, commonly known as Ford week (The festival was sponsored by Ford Motor Company for many years), is Ireland’s largest international sailing regatta. All types of yachts and sailors from across the world travel to this challenging race. Cork week 2010 will strictly enforce its no pro rule next year to ensure only 'Corinthian' sailors helm in the bulk of competing classes. This event is a must for all sailors and fans of sailing to experience.
BAR BACCA
By day, Bar Bacca is a café serving tasty Thai, Indian and Chinese dishes as well as coffees and fresh fruit juices, and by night, it turns into a sumptuously dark lounge bar. One of Belfast’s best bars, this exotic space has a Far Eastern theme complete with burning incense and a giant Buddha above the door at the entrance. Music ranges from garage and house to acid jazz, and the crowd dances while sipping specialty cocktails such as Champagne Sorbet, Chocolate Martinis, and the Arc beer, which makes its own ice crystals when poured.
CASTLE LESLIE, CO. MONAGHAN
The 1,000-acre Castle Leslie Estate offers a regal sanctuary in the most luxurious and enchanting accommodations. Surrounded by ancient woodland and glittering lakes, the castle is one of the last great Irish estates still in the hands of its founding family. The Leslie family has lived in the castle since the 1660s, entertaining politicians, ambassadors, and the world’s celebrities. Here you can truly live like a king and queen, riding on horseback through the countryside, pampering yourself in the Victorian spa, or dancing in the ballroom.
