Forget the Caribbean… have you seen Ireland in summer?

The west coast of Ireland comes alive with sparkling turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, endless golden beaches, and some of the freshest Atlantic air you’ll ever breathe. On Achill Island, every turn reveals another unforgettable view—from rugged mountains meeting the sea to quiet coastal roads that invite you to slow down and take it all in.

Discover Ireland through the eyes of those who know it best.

America 250. A journey shared with Ireland. 🇺🇸🇮🇪

In 1771, Benjamin Franklin visited Hillsborough Castle to meet Wills Hill, the 1st Earl of Hillsborough and Secretary of State for the Colonies. Their meeting took place just five years before the Declaration of Independence, leading some to affectionately describe Hillsborough Castle as the “birthplace of America.”

As the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, Hillsborough Castle is marking this historic anniversary by commemorating Franklin’s visit. The State Dining Room has been renamed the Benjamin Franklin Dining Room for the year, featuring a special display that includes a copy of the Declaration of Independence, a portrait of Franklin, and a portrait of Wills Hill.

📷 Summer Lens Series | Achill Island

Achill Island and the Corraun Peninsula, in County Mayo, are jewels in the crown of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. Soaring sea cliffs, Blue Flag beaches, rugged mountains, tranquil lakes, and vast Atlantic skies create a landscape of extraordinary beauty.

A summer day here is a reminder that some of the world’s greatest luxuries are found in nature itself.

One of our favourite summer experiences in the Scottish Highlands is a private 4x4 safari through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Britain. Traverse across forests, mountains, and heather-covered moors on exclusive hill tracks, discovering the beauty of this magnificent wilderness.

Along the way, you may be lucky enough to spot the majestic Red Deer, the famous Grouse, the elusive Mountain Hare, or even a soaring Golden Eagle.

Complete your adventure with a wee dram and a delicious lunch in a traditional hilltop bothy—the perfect Highland finish to an unforgettable day.
