On down the coast to Dublin. No wonder the lustful Vikings, who made their way up the Liffey in the middle ages were reluctant to raid and move on. Dublin has retained its zest for life, digesting rebellion, civil war and more with vigour. All serving to fuel the appetite of its natives throughout the ages.
From Strongbow to Swift, Beckett to Behan. Right up to Ahern. Dubliners have never been short of wry observations on human nature and on their own city.
South to the real capital. Cork has long benefited from strong maritime trading links to Europe. A tradition that has brought with it a great diversity. Of musical and culinary wealth over the centuries.
Today Cork is a gateway to the wonders of the south. Enjoy the beauty of its many seaside villages (including Skibereen which provided the backdrop for War of the Buttons). And its green countryside, which provided the backdrop for The Wind That Shakes The Barley.
And when you are ready to kick back and be pampered from head to toe, check in at one of our fabulous luxury hotels including Fota Island Hotel & Spa, Imperial Hotel, River Lee Hotel and Hayfield Manor.
Sweep up the west coast. Check out Tory Island, Aranmore, Malin Head, Lough Eske, Glencolmcille and Glenveagh national Park. Where the wild rugged coast and mountainous north West lie in store for you.
For twitchers and folk art admirers, Tory island is a gem. Add in a ration of Gaelic language. Music, miles of open Atlantic. Ireland is an island off the coast of Tory. And get away from it all at Solis Lough Eske Castle
