Excursions
Sligo
Let’s face it: it takes somewhere pretty special to be christened the “Land of Heart’s Desire” by one of Ireland’s most beloved poets and Nobel Laureate, WB Yeats. Perched on the Wild Atlantic Way, with the coast to the west and lush lakelands to the east, Sligo town is
the gateway to every Irish experience you could desire. If you feel like a trip back in time, visit historic Lissadell, elegant Coopershill or magnificent Temple House. All three are waiting to transport you through Sligo’s stories.
Westport
Fall in love with Westport when you first step foot into town and make your way along the Carrowbeg River, lined with colourful flowers and traditional shop fronts. Stroll leisurely around Westport Town perhaps making your way to the historic Westport House. Enjoy a vibrant food scene as there aren’t many towns in Ireland where local restaurants use foraged ingredients to make their award-winning dishes, but that’s exactly what’s found in the beautiful Westport restaurants.
River Shannon Cruise
Carrick-on-Shannon is the cruising capital of Ireland. Wander the winding streets of the town, famed for their hospitality and nightlife, before discovering the town’s past through historic buildings and curious oddities. Highlight of the day is your cruise along the River
Shannon with live music on board and fantastic commentary.
Price includes: Dinner, B&B | Coach & ferry travel throughout | Excursions | Door to Door Collection*
