Ireland Soft green fields and rolling hills, craggy cliffs tumbling into the ferocious Atlantic, stately castles and peaceful lakes, arid rocky outcrops and moss-drenched woodlands.

Undoubtedly one of Ireland’s major attractions is its spectacular scenery – with soft green fields and rolling hills, craggy cliffs tumbling into the ferocious Atlantic, stately castles and peaceful lakes, arid rocky outcrops and moss-drenched woodlands. Ireland is equally as loved for its friendly locals and healthy pub culture; the local pub is a great place to experience authentic Irish hospitality, some great craic and traditional music and food.

In County Limerick you’ll find the picture-perfect village of Adare. With quaint thatched cottages that are centuries old, medieval monasteries and ruins, and the magnificent Adare Manor – a 19^th century manor house located on the banks of the River Maigue which now acts as a 5-star resort and golf course. The village is known as the "Wedding Capital of Ireland" because of the fantastic photo opportunities with so many scenic backdrops.

Blarney Castle in County Cork is one of Ireland’s most visited castles and dates back to the 15^th century. Famous for the Blarney Stone, legend says that if you kiss this stone, you will be blessed with the gift of eternal eloquence. The views from the top of the castle are spectacular, looking out over the gardens and beyond and the grounds are worth exploring for their mysterious underground caves and exotic plants. County Cork is also home to the picture-postcard pretty harbour town of Kinsale, with delightful scenery, historic buildings and its undisputed role as the foodie capital of Ireland.

Visit the picturesque Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary. Dating back to the 12^th and 13^th centuries, it’s a collection of formidable medieval buildings set on an outcrop of limestone.

Stroll around the spectacular grounds and gardens of Powerscourt Estate, near the charming village of Enniskerry in County Wicklow. For lovers of Waterford Crystal, a visit to County Waterford and a tour of the famous glass factory is a must.
