Having visited Dubrovnik for one night during interrailing, I have to admit it didn’t much of a lasting impression of me. Having returned to visit friends I have come to realise I just didn’t spend enough time in the town to fully appreciate everything that it has to offer and I ended up really, REALLY…Continue Reading “A Weekend in Dubrovik”
Having lived in Dublin for almost five years, it is shocking that it has taken me so long to visit Wexford, also known as ‘The Sunny South East’. With blue skies and a bit of annual leave to spare (thank you Pandemic for your only silver lining!) I decided it was finally time to venture…Continue Reading “A Weekend In Wexford”
Ireland is considering a relatively small country, so I think you would be surprised to learn just how many of us neglect travelling our emerald isle and seek adventure further afield. This is one of the reasons why it took me so long to venture as far as Donegal. Donegal is one of the most…Continue Reading “Two Day Donegal Itinerary”
Everyone loves a good, relaxing weekend – and my last weekend was just that. I had the pleasure of spending one night in Monart, a ‘destination spa’ down in Wexford. Nestled away at the edge of Enniscorthy this five-star hotel is a little slice of paradise. I spent a Friday night here recently as a…Continue Reading “A Night at Monart Destination Spa”
As spoken about previously, my first experience of Spain wasn’t exactly a good one. Different things appeal to different people, and personally I love the charm of Eastern Europe and find that charm is sometimes lacking in some of the larger central European cities – like Barcelona. I visited here with my friends and while…Continue Reading “Discovering Barcelona”
If you had ever asked me about recommendations for Clare before I would have been very quick to say The Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, Liscannor, etc. The last time I had explored anywhere else in Clare was with my parents years ago and having finally gone there last weekend I’m really sad that it didn’t…Continue Reading “Discovering County Clare”
Recently I ticked an activity off my ever growing to-do list and walked the Cuilcagh Legnabrocky Trail in Fermanagh, also known as the Stairway to Heaven. What was meant to be a day trip to do this mountain walk ended up becoming a night away – and little did I know that I was going…Continue Reading “Staying On Lusty Beg Island”
When you hear the words Stairway to Heaven immediately Led Zepplin comes to mind. The Cuilcagh Legnabrocky (say that 3 times fast!) trail in the Cuilcagh Mountains in Fermanagh has also been given the nickname ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and for a very good reason. The Cuilagh Mountains which lay on the border of Cavan and…Continue Reading “The Stairway To Heaven”
I was very lucky last weekend to get the chance to visit the notorious Ashford Castle, as well as stay in The Lodge at Ashford Castle for two nights. I was there for work which meant I didn’t get the opportunity to do one of the many activities that they offer there such as boat…Continue Reading “The Lodge At Ashford Castle”
I said I was going to explore more of Ireland this Summer, and since I am currently living in Dublin what better place to start?! Over the last few weekends (and parts of last year too) I have made it my business to explore this county beyond Grafton Street and its surroundings. The city has…Continue Reading “Eight Walks To Do In Dublin”
