Not alone does South West Ireland provide the best in golf but it has
its own ancient and rich history. Geological movements of the earth's
plates gave us lofty mountains and seascapes. Volcanoes created islands
like the Blasket Islands off the coast of Co. Kerry. Glaciers carved out
lake filled valleys like Killarney and the receding ice allowed for
magnificent woodlands, flora and wildlife to evolve.
Megalithic tombs and monuments older than the pyramids are found
throughout the region. Visitor centres and museums such as the Burren in
Co. Clare and the Cobh Heritage Centre in Cork, which depicts the last
port of call for the Titanic can, help you relive times past.
The many outdoor activities include, hill walking, cycling, horse
riding, shooting, fishing, sailing and surfing as well as participation
in the annual festivals and horse racing events held throughout the region.
Visitors can observe the Irish express their culture through poetry,
song and dance, with every town and village having its own traditional
performers, not to mention our Gaelic footballers and hurlers. Better
again, why not join them in their fun while downing a pint of the 'Black
Stuff' in our famous 'Irish Pubs.'
