Ireland is criss-crossed with silver streams, lazy rivers, hidden lakes and still canals. Throughout the country, there’s trout and salmon fishing for anglers. Canals, rivers and larger lakes can be explored from the banks or from hired boats. Every bend offers a new scene, a chance meeting or a hidden pub alive with boating and fishing stories.
When in Ireland, you are never more than 80 miles from the sea and a coastline offering golden, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, hidden harbours and bays. You’ll find beautiful secluded coves as well as larger beaches with windsurfing, sailing, canoeing and swimming. Shore angling and deep sea fishing facilities are available in most coastal villages. The central plain of Ireland is surrounded by a ring of hills and mountains. Hues vary from the deep purple of heather to the black of turf bogs and vistas range from the gentle slopes of the Slieve Bloom mountains to the steep, wooded valleys of Wicklow and the awe inspiring Cliffs of Moher. They are all there to be explored on foot, by bicycle or on horseback. Every day and every season brings new colours: Primroses, bluebells, ferns, autumn leaves and amber sunset. You’ll want to photograph it all. You’ll also find colourful characters. From mountain tops to beaches you’ll meet people ready to stop and talk - a chat about the weather, a bit of local geography or history and maybe some advice about what you should see next. You won’t see it all in one visit, so the sooner you come the sooner you can come back for more.
