Built for battle over 800 years ago
 today, it’s home to a duke and some of Ireland’s most stunning gardens. 🏰

Lismore Castle in County Waterford blends history, grandeur, and living tradition. While the castle remains a private residence, its gardens are open to the public—offering riverside walks, sweeping terraces, and views that feel straight out of a fairytale.

Have you ever visited a castle that’s still someone’s home?

Mallow Castle offers not one, but two sides of history—the romantic ruins of the original fortress and the later manor house set among sprawling parkland. With sweeping views, curious deer, and centuries of stories, it’s a perfect stop for history lovers and peaceful wanderers alike.

Mallow Castle’s grounds, open to the public year-round, are a National Monument of Ireland and home to one of the country’s largest herds of white fallow deer.

Built for battle in the 1400s
 now one of the most photographed spots in Killarney National Park.

Ross Castle stands on the edge of Lough Leane, with the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks rising in the background. Inside, you’ll find stories of clan battles, sieges, and even ghostly legends. Outside, you can wander the lakeshore or take a boat trip to the park’s islands.

Whether you come for the history, the scenery, or the legend of the ghostly horseman, Ross Castle leaves its mark.

Would you explore the castle first or take to the water?

Doognamore Castle & Fisher Street in Doolin — where history meets colour on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.

Just before you reach Doolin, the silhouette of Doognamore Castle rises against the Atlantic sky. A short drive later, you’re on Fisher Street—lined with bright shopfronts, cosy cafĂ©s, and the sound of traditional Irish music spilling from the pubs.

It’s the perfect stop before or after the Cliffs of Moher, blending history, colour, and coastal charm.

Sometimes the most beautiful places are the hardest to reach.

Deep in the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks lies the Black Valley—one of Ireland’s most remote and breathtaking spots. Winding roads lead you past lakes, mountains, and valleys where silence feels endless and time seems to pause.

Whether you drive, cycle, or hike, the journey here is as unforgettable as the destination.

Have you ever been somewhere that made you feel like you’d stepped into another world?

In every journey, there’s a place where time slows and the heart feels lighter.

St. Mary’s Cathedral in Killarney is more than just beautiful architecture—it’s a sanctuary of calm in the middle of a vibrant town. The tall spire, stained-glass glow, and echo of footsteps on stone make it a perfect pause in any travel day.

Step inside, breathe deep, and let the stillness remind you why we wander.

What’s a place on your travels that’s left you feeling completely at peace?

When you find a place that feels like a storybook, you stay a little longer.

Gougane Barra in West Cork is pure magic—mountains hugging the lake, forest trails that feel endless, and the iconic St. Finbarr’s Oratory right in the middle of it all. A perfect spot to slow down, explore, and soak in Ireland’s wild beauty.
