CORK CITY - THE SUNNY SOUTH TOUR CODE - CBE - 02ORK Beautiful mountain scenery, villages, sparkling clear seas, long sandy beaches and small harbours with fishing boats make the south of Ireland an ideal holiday location. Visit Cork, Ireland's second city, home of Murphy's stout and also to the world famous Jazz Festival. Nearby is the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle (kiss the stone and you will never be lost for words). Cork city is built on reclaimed marsh land and is still dominated by water - The River Lee divides the city in two. The word Cork comes from the Irish name "Corcach" which means "marsh". The city's origins lie early in the seventh century when St. Finbarr founded a small monastic community close to where Gilabbey Street now stands. The Vikings came to the city in the tenth century, and the Normans followed two centuries later. This may account for the distinctly European ambiance. Although a busy industrial city, it is also an important shopping centre. The principal streets are lined with fashion houses and department stores stocking quality Irish goods.

KERRY - ETERNAL BEAUTY TOUR CODE - CBE - 03KER County Kerry in Ireland's Southwest is a place untouched by time. Hazy mountain panoramas shimmering in the pearly ocean light, rattling streams of sparkling clear water tumbling down wooded slopes. You can spend days just watching and wondering at the splendour of the views as you take the 21 kilometre scenic route over the twisting Moll's Gap road to Killarney, or the 112 kilometre winding lanes of the Ring of Kerry or the 130 kilometre tour of Dingle Peninsula. Thanks to its remoteness, County Kerry has always been an outpost of Gaelic culture. Poetry and music are intrinsic to Kerry lifestyle, as is a love of the outdoors and sports. You'll also find some of Ireland's best golf courses here, and the fishing for salmon and trout is equally hard to resist. Killarney is regarded as the 'Jewel in the Crown' of the Kingdom of Kerry and is a small lively town bustling with energy, lively pubs and interesting people. Enjoy 3 nights accommodation in a first class, central hotel in Killarney
GALWAY - THE HEART OF THE WEST TOUR CODE - CBE - 04GAL Galway is noted for its traditional Irish music and song, and a wide range of activities and amenities, from secluded sandy beaches and beautiful scenery to sports for all. Galway nestles at the neck of Galway Bay and is reputed to have been Columbus' final point of departure on his epoch-making voyage of discovery. In nearby Connemara you will find the world famous marble, as green and beautiful and enduring as Ireland itself. Connemara is one of the most beautiful areas of Ireland; a land of rock and mountain, criss-crossed with streams and marshes. The city was founded on the east bank of the river late in the 12C by the Anglo-Norman family de Burgo. It attracted many Welsh and Norman merchants who enclosed the city within a defensive wall. Under the control of the fourteen leading families, known as the "tribes" an extensive trade developed not only with the continent, importing French and Spanish wine, but also with the West Indies. Places of interest to visit - St Nicholas Church - a medieval church, which is dedicated to the patron saint of sailors, was begun in 1320. Spanish Arch, the name is a reminder of the city's trading links with Spain. Part of the medieval town wall is visible on the south side of the arch. Eyre Square is the focal point of the modern city between the old town and the docks and centres on a small park, named after John F Kennedy. Enjoy 3 nights accommodation in a first class, central hotel in Galway
BELFAST TOUR CODE - CBE - 05BEL Belfast is Europe's best kept little secret and a great place to visit. Nestled beside the River Lagan and Belfast Lough and ringed by gentle hills, Belfast has a lovely setting. The core of downtown Belfast sits beside the West Bank of the River Lagan. The city revolves around a central point, Donegal Square, which holds the city hall; all roads radiate out from there. Belfast can be traversed within an hour or so, but what's the hurry? Just take "a wee dander" (as the native tongue say!) around the city center to admire exquisite examples of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture, dominated by the magnificently domed city hall.
