Jameson Distillery Tour

Drive along the Ring of Kerry, an area of outstanding beauty with some of Europe’s finest beaches. See the Iron-Age forts, Ogham Stones, Old Monasteries and a landscape carved out of rock by the last Ice Age.

Explore the Killarney National Park, which includes the McGillycuddy's Reeks, the highest mountain range in Ireland and visit the world famous Lakes of Killarney. The Torc Waterfall, a 70 to 80ft high waterfall is well worth the 5-minute walk through scenic woodland.

Take a walk around Muckross House and gardens and see what life was like in the nineteenth century Victorian mansion. Enjoy a jaunting carriage ride through Killarney National Park.

Get a fascinating insight into the day-to-day life on 19th century inmates at Cork City Gaol. Soak up the atmosphere, as you walk through the wings of the gaol each representing their particular period in Irish history from pre–famine times.

For over 200 years, millions of people have visited Blarney Castle to climb the steps and kiss the Blarney Stone to gain the gift of eloquence. However, there is much more to see. From the top of the Castle, you can take in the wonderful views of over 60 acres of sprawling parklands. Visit Rock Close, a magical place, walk down the Wishing Steps, and keep a look out for the Witch’s Stone.

Dedicated to conservation and education the Fota Wildlife Park is an ideal place for a family day out. Discover the park on your own, watch the animals at feeding time or take a guided tour where you can explore the behind the scenes areas, prepare food in the kitchen for the animals you will meet on your tour and help the warden with the feeding of them.

Situated on the south coast you will find Cobh, a waterside town steeped in history. It was here that the RMS Titanic made her final port of call before setting out across the Atlantic on her ill-fated maiden voyage.
