OVERVIEW: IRELAND
Lying in the North Atlantic Ocean and separated from Great Britain by the Irish Sea, Ireland has some of the most un spoilt and varied scenery in Europe. Commonly referred to as The Emerald Isle on account of it lush green countryside, Ireland benefits from the warm air of the Gulf Stream and mild south westerly winds.
Ireland has over 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of coastline, and an area of approx 27,100 sq miles (70,190 sq km). For a relatively small country, Ireland certainly has plenty to offer visitors.
Known as The Land of the Horse, Ireland is packed with adventures for everyone whether it’s your first time on horseback to the more accomplished rider. From horse-drawn caravanning holidays, awesome trail rides to romantic gallops along a deserted beach, a riding holiday in Ireland is an experience not to be missed.
Ireland is beautiful for cycling, the central plain, surrounded by mountains and hills is criss-crossed with cycle paths. When cycling along the south and west coasts be prepared for variable terrain, lots of hills and often into the wind. There are plenty of campgrounds along the way for long distance cyclists. A good touring bike with solid tyres is a must as road conditions are not always excellent.
Like golf? Then you’re likely to know all about golfing in Ireland. The Emerald Isle offers more golf than any country of comparable size in the world! The claim to have some of the most beautiful courses in the world is no empty boast – lake or rivers, mountains or seascapes – the variety is amazing. It is even possible to play the same courses that helped shape champions, as well as courses that gave golf's international superstars some of their finest moments.
For those who prefer their holiday in or around water, Ireland offers much more than you might think! From scuba diving to surfing, there are plenty of places along the Atlantic coastline for the beginner and more experienced to take to the water. The Irish National Surfing Championships are held each year in Donegal. It is possible to water-ski along the River Shannon, or why not shoot the rapids along the River Liffey in a canoe. The Liffey Descent, usually held in September each year attracts competitors from across the world and is a wonderful occasion for spectators and competitors alike.
Whether your interest is in horses, golf, fishing or even splashing about in the sea, Ireland has the perfect locations, not to mention some of the most beautiful natural backdrops in the world.
With warm, friendly locals that have a real sense of fun, rich traditions and history, music and dance, top sightseeing attractions and some of the best food and drink in Europe, Ireland is a wonderful destination right on the doorstep!
