Cadogan Guides Southwest Ireland (Paperback)

Cadogan Guides Southwest Ireland Book Description

There's something really special about Southwest Ireland. It's in the heathery, dew-sprinkled countryside, the lush fields, the Burren's stony landscape and the rich earth - reflected in the work of local weavers, potters and artists. It's in the people, with their friendly, relaxed manner, their welcoming homes and long evenings of storytelling and song. It's also in the early Christian retreats on romantic, windswept islands, and the sheer, breathtaking coastal scenery, where you can watch the sea fog roll in and explore beehive-shaped cloghans, ancient stone circles and ogham stones. Cadogan's fully revised edition of Catharina Day's reputed guide will show you around: find the best thatched cottages, farmhouse B& Bs, and gracious country homes to stay in; the best places to try local seafood, the region's renowned Irish-European cuisine and mouthwatering farmhouse cheeses; and the best bars for a relaxing pint and a great evening of craic!

Ireland' s most popular holiday region is explored in Cadogan' s expanded new edition, encompassing the main area of the province of Munster. From King John' s Castle and Moll' s Gap to the dolphins of Shannon Estuary, Irish-raised Catharina Day reveals the tranquil pleasures of counties Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Clare. Guest writers contribute expert sections on fishing and golf, and the guide contains a special piece on the popular pursuit of sailing around the southwest coast. Now fully redesigned, this new edition contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. Cadogan offers practical advice on tracing ancestry, tales of Celtic myth and legend, traditional Irish recipes and a guide to the best pubs, romantic hideaways and family-friendly hotels in the land.
