Hidden Gems of Ireland



Many years ago, a man who had traveled the world over said, If I was only allowed one more trip in my life, I would go back to Ireland and blend in with the locals for a week or two. The vast pyramids, backpacking through the jungle, or the African Sahara couldn't hold a candle to the beauties that Ireland held in its shores. When it comes to a simple vacation try looking off the beaten path for your holiday.
Ireland has mystery coursing through its veins. Only those who appreciate it, as the Irish do, find out what that mystery is. Many a stormy and overcast day grace the cliff lined shores of Ireland, only adding to the intrigue it holds. As you stumble upon quaint villages on your way through the Beara Peninsula, you can almost taste the history surging through the land. Who couldn't resist holding up in a cottage near the coast with only an ancient lighthouse and the Atlantic for their view.




The Ring of Kerry is one of the Irish's most beloved locations. Encompassed by the green mountains on one side, and the ocean on the other, it has become a not-to-be-missed destination. An afternoon couldn't get much better than spending it on a bike, viewing Killarney at its best. When you are ready to escape the tourists, head out to Kenmare where the village looks like it was plucked out of a story book. Stone cottages line the small streets, and seem to welcome everyone who looks upon them with their beautiful flower boxes clutching the windows. The land of Kenmare definitely has clung tightly to tradition rather than conforming.




Getting lost usually isn't appealing, but when you enter Charles Fort one can't help it. Barracks, courtyards, walls and passages leave you relying on a map for release. Medieval & majestic, Trim Castle (King John's Castle) is a jaw-dropping vision into the past. Being impenetrable for over 4 centuries, you feel somewhat like a lucky trespasser when you are there. If you do happen to get lost, make sure you have WorldMate (great for Business Travel or personal travel!) loaded on your mobile device. Equipped with detailed maps, it'll get you back on track in no time!
Whether you are warming your fingers up by the fire in one of Ireland's famous pubs, or enjoying a walk through a picturesque village, Ireland is magnificent by nature. The lure of the land is impossible to refuse. Despite the salty ocean breeze chilling up the air, the warmth of the Irish will leave you feeling right at home!
