Ireland

Ireland is mystical and enthralling like the Celtic lore and the foot-stomping folk it creates. Named the Emerald Isle for the colour of its stunning scenery, it astounds at every corner, from its wildest coastal road to its cliffside castles. Here, in the land that spurred some of literature's greatest minds, everybody has a story. Join an Irish jam and let the locals regale you with their own.

Fun Fact

Ireland might be commonly associated with leprechauns, but it’s fairies that mark the country’s green landscapes with mysterious ringforts. While most know now that these are actually the circular ruins of ancient stone buildings, some still believe that they are actually fairy forts, enchanted by druid magic and leading to secret realms.
