Glen Keen Farm

Let me paint you a picture. Picture a stretch of wild, ragged west of Ireland where the mountains seem to hum with something older than humankind, and the wind whispers in a tongue that might just be Gaelic. Head into County Mayo, drive past the last fast food signs and the last traffic lights, and the ordinary all of a sudden peels away. You're in the middle of nowhere and everywhere at once…

SANDEMANs NEW Europe - Dublin

Leisure

Right, so you've landed in #Dublin, the city of a thousand welcomes, a million stories, and probably about that many pubs, give or take. You could grab a map, sure, try to figure it all out on your own. Or, you could do something a bit smarter, a bit more Dublin. You could join a SANDEMANs NEW Europe Free Walking Tour. Now, hold your horses, "free" doesn't mean dodgy or dull. Oh no. This is your…

Ireland's Smallest Comedy Club

Leisure

You know, sometimes the best things in life aren't the biggest, flashiest, or loudest. Sometimes, it's the little, tucked-away spots, the ones you feel like you've discovered all by yourself, that get under your skin and deliver something truly special. And if you're in #Galway, and you've got a hankering for a night of proper, honest-to-goodness, tears-rolling-down-your-face laughter, then I'm…

Croagh Patrick Stables

Leisure

Imagine the fresh Atlantic air hitting your face, the steady clippety-clop of hooves on a sandy beach, and that massive, famous shape of Ireland's Holy Mountain, #CroaghPatrick, right beside you. Sounds pretty amazing, right? Well, that's not just some daydream; it's the kind of unforgettable trip you get at Croagh Patrick Stables.

Hysterical Histories Cork

Leisure

Alright, let's have you. If your idea of a history lesson involves a dusty professor droning on about dates while you slowly nod off into your textbook, then you haven't been to #Cork lately. Because down in the Rebel City, in the gorgeous old Huguenot Quarter, there's a show called Hysterical Histories Cork that takes 1500 years of Cork's bonkers past, stuffs it into a comedic cannon, and fires…

Collins Day Tours

Leisure

So, you find yourself in Dublin. Grand city, no doubt about it—full of buzz, history, and more pubs than you can shake a stick at. But there's this little niggle, isn't there? That feeling that just beyond the city's embrace lies another Ireland, a wilder, older, perhaps even more soulful version, tucked away in its mountains and medieval towns. And you're thinking, "How on earth do I get a real…

Lally Tours

Leisure

Right, so you're thinking of heading to County Galway, are you? It's a magnificent slice of Ireland, truly. But here's a little tip from someone who's been around the block a few times: you could just hire a car and zoom about, getting lost down boreens and probably missing half the good stuff. Or you could do it the smart way, the way that leaves you grinning like a fool and with stories to tell…

Original Dublin Walking Tours & Experiences

Leisure

So, you’re off to #Dublin, are you? Grand! It's a city that’ll wrap you up in its stories and fill your ears with music. But here's a little secret, just between us: if you want to get the measure of Dublin, to peek behind the shiny green curtain and find its actual, thumping, historical heart, you've got to ditch the tour bus, mate. You need to get your walking shoes on and find yourself a…
