When it comes to reputation, there are few destinations that live up to the hype like Ireland. From its wild Atlantic coast to its sandy surf beaches, the island of Ireland exceeds preconceptions exponentially. You may think you’re ready for the green landscapes, but you’ll be dazzled by the preternatural glow of rolling pastures and leafy forests. Brochures promise castles, cottages and cities burgeoning with history – but their real-life charms will take your breath away.
And then there’s that fabled welcome. Surely the legend of its exuberance is exaggerated, the sensible traveller might assume, until they hit a traditional Irish.
