Ireland

Ireland holds one of the liveliest capitals in Europe, yet Dublin’sbustle is a world away from the quieter pastoral pleasures of thecountry. Visit the atmospheric Neolithic tombs of Newgrange,Wicklow’s relaxing gardens, the gourmet restaurants of Kinsaleor Tipperary’s medieval fortresses. Across the border isNorthern Ireland’s own tranquil Lake District in Fermanagh.

Get your culture fix in Edinburgh, with its ancientcastle and Michelin starred restaurants, or the vibrant artscentre of Glasgow. Hill-walk the dramatic peaks and lakes ofInverness, sail to the other-worldly islands of Mull and theInner Hebrides or sip on Speyside whisky on the east coast.
