        Southeastern Ireland is ideal for fishing,
golf, and touring. Southwestern Ireland is a paradise for walkers, anglers, and seafood lovers. You can discover the history of Irish emigration at Cork and Cobh, kiss the Blarney Stone, and follow the trail of ancient history (and ancient legend). Seek and enjoy Irish

IRELAND'S HIGHEST MOUNTAINS

Dramatic scenery abounds!

        Southern Ireland surprises. You can be walking (or driving!) in alpine heights at noon and eating fresh mussels under palm trees by the water's edge at suppertime. Drive from Ireland's second largest city to tiny villages that speak only Gaelic in under 90 minutes. And the colors! The only brighter colors than the blue of the sky and sea, and the green of the grass are those in the Technicolor rainbow of houses and shops in the towns and villages.
