☘️ Step into the world of Liam O'Caidhla, a master Shillelagh stick maker from Shillelagh, Co. Wicklow! His family, "Olde Shillelagh Stickmakers," has been crafting these iconic Irish sticks for generations, a tradition passed down since before his great-grandfather.
Liam uses locally sourced Blackthorn, with each stick taking 2-5 years to complete. From grand staffs to walking sticks and even good luck charms, every piece is a testament to timeless Irish craftsmanship. You can find their showroom on Main Street in Shillelagh, right on the Wicklow Way! ☘️

☘️Forget your average stroll! 😉 Get ready to elevate your walk with a dose of incredible art at the Sperrin Sculpture Trail!
Think majestic mountains, crisp fresh air, and surprising, stunning sculptures popping up along the way. It's like a giant, beautiful outdoor art gallery just waiting to be explored! 🖼️🌳☘️
☘️ Keel Beach perfection with a hint of Keem Bay magic in the distance!
Did you know Keel is affectionately called "the big beach" (An Trá Mór) in Irish because it stretches for nearly 4km? It's also a Blue Flag beauty, meaning super clean waters, and a total surfer's paradise with those amazing Atlantic waves! Framed by the dramatic Cliffs of Minaun, it’s perfect for long walks, family fun, or just soaking up incredible views. Who's ready for an Achill adventure? ☘️

☘️ Greetings from beautiful Clogher Strand in Di**le, Co. Kerry!
We're delighted to introduce the wonderful Ludwig family, who are currently enjoying their unforgettable tour of Ireland with our fantastic driver-guide, Paul McCarthy!
☘️Hidden Gem Alert! 😁 Less than 20 miles from Kenmare, you'll find the breathtaking Gleninchaquin Park nestled in a stunning glacial valley!
Follow a winding single-track road deep into the Beara Peninsula (with an optional detour to the ancient Uragh Stone Circle) and prepare to be amazed. The park opens up to reveal the dramatic Inchaquin Falls, cascading about 300 feet down the mountains. They're especially spectacular after a good rainfall! 🌧️💧
The Garden of Remembrance in Kinsale, Co. Cork is a profound symbol of solidarity, heroism, and remembrance for the 343 FDNY firefighters and their chaplain lost on 9/11.
Walking through this serene space, where each tree carries a name, offers a quiet moment to honour their sacrifice and the vision of its founder, Kathleen Murphy. A truly special place in the heart of the Irish countryside.
Cutting turf (peat) by hand, using a specialized two-sided spade called a "sleán". For centuries, especially in rural areas, turf was the primary source of heat for Irish homes.
Meet Dolan, the famous resident Irish Wolfhound, whose presence is an integral part of the unique and unforgettable charm of the Ballyseede Castle experience.
☘️ At the foot of Croagh Patrick stands the poignant National Famine Memorial. It commemorates the millions lost during the Great Famine (1845-52). It powerfully depicts a "coffin ship," its rigging formed by skeletal figures – a stark reminder of the dreadfully overcrowded and unhygienic vessels that carried desperate Irish emigrants fleeing famine from our shores. ☘️
