Maybe you’re more interested in good Irish Whisky or Guinness than food. You can tour both the Bushmills and the Guinness factories, complete with complimentary tastings.
If you are a crafter, one of the most amazing exhibits is found in New Ross – the Ros Tapestry Project. Local volunteers hand embroidered 15 tapestries that display the region’s history. It took them 10 years to complete and it is well worth a visit.
Do your ancestors come from Ireland? The Irish government makes it easy for you to search your history. They have a website set up where you can research old church records for free http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/ When you get to Ireland, not only can you search the old graveyards for family names, they have a replica of the Dunbrody at the port of New Ross. The Dunbrody was a famine ship that brought Irish settlers to North America during the famine. This is a highly recommend tour.
Equestrian holidays are big business in Ireland. Stud farms dot the Irish landscape. They have discovered that crossing the Thoroughbred with the Irish Draught horse has produced an especially fine Sport horse. Horse racing and equestrian performances are commonplace. If you’re interested in Irish Horsemanship training, you can find clinics all over Ireland.
Whatever your interest, you will find it in Ireland!
