Ireland

2 tours from £1,765pp

The Emerald Isle is renowned for its beautiful, rolling countryside, wind-eroded cliff edges, and culture-clad cities bursting with history. For breathtaking scenery, be sure to explore the epic Wild Atlantic Way and beautiful Achill Island, whilst destinations such as Dublin, Galway and Belfast never disappoint. 

From Westport House and Kylemore Abbey to Coosheen Garden and Bantry House, Ireland is also home to an abundance of fascinating heritage sites. With tales of folklore, tradition and rich history told through art, architecture and gardens, you get a real feel for the country’s unique past.  

Ireland’s cultural heritage can be explored through its traditional crafts, which have been greatly influenced by the spirit of the isle. The distinctive design and stunning patterns of Aran sweaters have been handed down through generations, with knitting schools being a part of Irish life since the 1600s.  

Whether you’d prefer to explore Ireland’s mountain peaks, magnificent coastlines or fascinating history, let us inspire your next discovery.
