Places to Visit in Ireland We might love Ireland for giving us St Patrick's day, but beyond the Guinness-fuelled celebrations every March there are other reasons to head to Ireland. Here are just a few places that should be on your must-visit list. THE BLARNEY STONE... is located at Blarney Castle, near Cork. The Blarney Stone is said to have magical powers. Legend says that if you kiss the stone, you’ll be blessed with the gift of the gab. GIANT’S CAUSEWAY... is the only UNESCO World Heritage site in Northern Ireland, an area of about 40,000 spectacular interlocking basalt columns on the coastline. CASTLES... With over 30,000 castles and castle ruins

Travel Experts Maria, Fellowes & Turner Travel Associates Penrith

scattered around the Irish countryside, you cannot visit Ireland without seeing a castle. There are a number of castles that now operate as luxury hotels, so you can even stay in a royal suite for a night or two. NATIONAL GALLERIES AND MUSEUMS... in Ireland are free to the public so you can appreciate some of the most incredible art without paying for it. IRISH PUBS... Head into an Irish pub anywhere and you’ll be greeted with that friendly, fun atmosphere. Do yourself a favour and enjoy a pint and a meal, soaking up their friendly hospitality. CORNNERMARA NATIONAL PARK... sits next to Kylemore Abbey on the remote west coast. This stunning area of natural wilderness is ideal for walking, trekking, or simply driving around. With a host of beautiful lakes, mountains sit amidst the rolling countryside. DUBLIN... is a vibrant city with a friendly street culture, a developing art scene, excellent pubs and restaurants, live music and history. Dublin is much more than a gateway to the Irish countryside. Be sure to visit St Stephens Green,

the Guinness Storehouse and Trinity College for a dose of beauty and history. BELFAST... is the centre of much of Ireland’s turbulent history. Belfast is a must-visit for its areas of cultural and political significance. Once a no-go zone for tourists, the Belfast of today has undergone a remarkable transformation, now home to trendy hotels, historically-significant museums telling the city’s bloodied history, and of course the slipway where the Titanic was built, now an excellent museum. GLENIFF HORSESHOE... is a 10km loop of single lane road, where you travel to marvel at and breathe in the unbeatable scenery. The loop is surrounded by stunning mountains that provide limitless photo opportunities. ireland awaits you We look forward to sharing our travel experiences with you.
