REGION DESCRIPTION

Dublin, Wicklow and the East Dublin ranks among the top tourist destinations in Europe, yet this vibrant city remains one of Europe's most down-to-earth, friendly and accessible cities. Although Dublin is right next door, the spectacularly lovely County Wicklow is very much its own place, an away-from-it-all world of moorland and mountain, farmland and garden, forest and lake, seashore and river.

Wexford, Waterford and South East Ireland Revive and stimulate your senses in Ireland's warmest corner. Soak up the rich, cultural atmosphere of the scenic towns and villages, relax in one of the many coastal destinations or enjoy a night on the town in the vibrant cities of the South East.

Cork County Cork is the largest of all the Irish counties and in many ways the most varied. Rich farmlands and river valleys contrast with the wild sandstone hills of the west, and above all there is the magnificent coastline hewn by the Atlantic into great bays and secret coves, strewn with rocky headlands and long soft golden sands.

Kerry County Kerry is renowned the world over for its beautiful scenery, including Irelands highest mountain Carrantuohill, the Lakes of Killarney, beautiful sandy beaches, cliffs and rocky headlands. No trip to Kerry is complete without including the panoramic Ring of Kerry drive on the Iveragh Peninsula. It stretches South West from Killarney for 65km (40 miles) and takes you through the towns of Kenmare, Sneem, Waterville, Cahirciveen, Glenbeigh, and Killorglin.

West Coast and Lakelands Visit Connemara and the islands, see and hear the Irish language in everyday use in the "Gaeltacht" region. Enjoy a wide range of outdoor pursuits and sports, indulge in retail therapy by shopping in some of the many craft shops, dine out on local specialities such as smoked salmon and local cheeses.
