Ireland Land Tour

Ireland is a land of loveliness; lovely people, lovely scenery, lovely literature and really lovely myths & tales. It is a beautiful country and anyone who has been will tell you they love it. So, come and take a road trip with us through lovely Ireland with a smallish group of like-minded travellers, an entertaining Driver/Guide, a pint of beer (or a few), a sing-song, gracious hospitality, beautiful manor hotels, a castle of two, enchanting lands, historic lore, poetry, stately magnificence, the wilds of cliffs and sea, and throw in a few sheep!
