Midlands of Ireland

Ireland’s Midland and East Coast counties have been the cradle of Irish aristocracy and together are the heartbeat of this fine country. From the very rural border counties with their Drumlins (small hills) and a myriad of vast lakes, the farmland becomes richer towards the south and is a land steeped in history.

The exciting fusion of Celtic and Christian cultures is displayed by such fine historical sites like Clonmacnoise and the High Crosses at Monasterboice. Activities abound with delightful walks embracing Wicklow’s sandy coastline and mountains, horse riding to suit every ability and age group, cruising on the Shannon-Erne Waterway, affordable golf on splendid courses and a chance to cast a line and catch a fish without the need for a licence! (Coarse fishing).
