Get Back to
Nature in Connemara National Park
Connemara
National Park is one of only six national parks in all of Ireland, and we think
it’s the ultimate place for nature lovers in the country. In this park, you’ll
find almost 3000 hectares of mountains, heaths, bogs, grasslands, and
woodlands. Head to the visitor centre, and you’ll discover a number of trails
for all abilities. If you manage to climb to the top of 400 metre high Diamond
Hill, you’ll discover views of distant islands as well as Kylemore Abbey.
Have a Glamping
Experience at the Wild Atlantic Camp
There are
certainly enough camping sites dotted around Ireland for you to have a great
camping experience, but if you are still on the fence about camping and you’d
like to dip your toe in with some glamping, you have this option at the Wild
Atlantic Camp in Donegal. No tents are involved at all, and you get to stay in
a heated wooden pod, which is just luxurious enough to feel like you are
roughing it, but it’s still out there in the wilderness.
Listen to Some
Smooth Sounds at Cork Jazz Festival
When you’ve heard
just about as much of the Irish fiddle as you can handle, you might be
interested in listening to some of the smoother sounds of jazz music, and the
annual Cork Jazz Festival offers the perfect opportunity for this. This is
Ireland’s premier jazz festival, and it takes place annually at the end of
October. Hundreds of musicians are attracted to the festival each year, and
there are concerts in city venues as well as on the streets. Will you be part
of it?
Cheer on Locals
at The Liffey Swim
The Liffey is the
main river that intersects Dublin, and each year in August there are hundreds
of brave souls who take part in the Liffey Swim, a race across the river in the
open waters. There are races for men and women, as singles and in teams. As the
temperature of the river water is rarely very warm, the competitors need as
much encouragement as they can possibly get. The atmosphere on the riverside on
race day is incredible, so why not join in with the fun, and cheer on the brave
souls in the water?
Eat Fresh Seafood
at Oscar’s in Galway
Ireland is
surrounded by water, and so it should come as no surprise that Ireland offers
some of the very best seafood in the world. If you are on the hunt for a
delicious seafood dinner to remember, trust us when we tell you that Oscar’s in
Galway is the place to be. This charming seafood bistro has won numerous awards
with a menu that changes with the seasonality of ingredients. The Clare Island
salmon tartar is a particular highlight, and the catch of the day never
disappoints.
