Tired of being told to "kiss the stone" and "mind the gift shop"?

We get it. Ireland's grand, but the tour bus queues? Not so much.

Trails and Tales takes you down the back roads your sat-nav's never heard of — to crumbling castles the guidebooks forgot, villages where everyone knows everyone's business (and yours, now), and pubs where the pints come with stories that may or may not be true.

Small groups. Big yarns. Zero selfie sticks.
