Ireland Highlights

Ireland's highlights spread far and wide, with jaw-dropping natural landscapes being one of the prime reasons to visit. See the awe-inspiring Ring of Kerry and rugged Wicklow Mountains for beauty like no other, whilst the Cliffs of Moher are guaranteed to take your breath away. 

History lovers will get their fill with the wealth of regal castles on offer – an estimated 30,000 castles and ruins dot the country in total! Blarney Castle is consistently ranked as one of the best places to visit in Ireland, whilst Kilkenny Castle and Ross Castle are also popular sights.  

And, of course, Ireland is renowned for its fantastic hospitality and traditional taverns where you can enjoy the very best 'craic' – 'a good time' in Irish English. The Guinness Storehouse in Dublin is the best way to discover more about city's most iconic drink, with a fantastic atmosphere and good craic in abundance!

Food and Drink

Irish Coffee

Ireland produces some of the best whiskey in the world, and an Irish coffee is a heavenly drink combining whiskey, coffee and fresh, smooth cream. Almost a dessert, this firm favourite is sure to warm you up right through to your toes! 

Irish stew

A hearty, one-pot dish made traditionally from mutton, potatoes, onions and water, Irish stew is the ultimate comfort food and perfect for warming up in winter. Relying on only a few ingredients with the slow-cooked, tender meat adding the most flavour, this favourite, national dish has been around for centuries.    

Soda bread

A simple, traditional bread which oozes flavour, Irish soda bread is a daily staple. Recipes vary from family to family, each with their own twist, but the bread is typically enjoyed with a thick spread of butter and used for dipping into stews and soups. 

Planning your trip

With so much on offer, you might need some inspiration! We’ve hand-picked a selection of favourite destinations and provided an overview of the very best highlights...

Dublin

Dublin Highlights

Breathtaking Architecture

Renowned for its stunning architecture, Dublin is a treat for the eyes. Trinity College, the Four Courts, the National Gallery and St. Patrick’s Cathedral are all spectacular sights, as well as the city's elegant, Georgian structures, most notably in Fitzwilliam and Merrion Squares.  

Traditional Taverns

It's no secret that the famous Irish 'craic' can be found in every hearty pub across the country – and there's plenty to choose from! Dublin is also home to the Guinness Storehouse where visitors can pay homage to the renowned drink, enjoy a perfectly pulled pint and see panoramic views over the city. 

St. Patrick's Day

Everyone should celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Dublin at least once! The whole city turns green on the 17th March as this celebration of Irish culture takes over, with Irish dancing, musicians, Guinness, shamrocks and parades on every corner. Join us on our St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin & Ireland’s Ancient East tour to witness the spectacle for yourself. 

Kilkenny

Kilkenny Highlights

Kilkenny Castle

With a long history of continuous occupation, 12th century Kilkenny Castle has been rebuilt, extended and changed many times over an 800-year period. This grand, country house attracts thousands of visitors each year; inside, you'll find beautiful period tapestries, furniture and works of art, whilst the parkland boasts a formal rose garden, woodland and a man-made lake.

Kilkenny Design Craft Centre

One of Ireland's most prestigious sources of Irish gifts, the award-winning Kilkenny Design Craft Centre is located in what was once the stable yard of Kilkenny Castle. The Centre features a fantastic selection of shops selling artisan Irish giftware, crafts, jewellery, clothing and ceramics.

Medieval Mile Museum

Located in the heart of St Mary’s Church, the Medieval Mile Museum showcases Kilkenny's 800 years of history, showcasing the importance of many people's stories who made the town what it is today. See some of Ireland's finest medieval sculptures, artefacts and the country's largest collection of Renaissance tombs.


Killarney

Killarney Highlights

Historical Interest

This vibrant, 'little' town is known for its history, heritage and world-class hospitality. Key places of interest include St. Mary’s Cathedral, Victorian mansion Muckross House & Gardens, and Ross Castle which is a lakeside citadel steeped in legend.

Jaunting Car Rides

The town is renowned for jaunting car rides – the traditional way to tour the town by horse and trap (carriage), in the company of a Jarvey (driver and guide). Your Jarvey will teach you more about the history, legend and folklore of the area while you sit back and soak up the rolling countryside.

Ring of Kerry

Killarney is the most popular starting point for taking on the breathtaking driving route of the Ring of Kerry, which boasts some of the most awe-inspiring views in Ireland. Discover incredible scenery, beautiful wildlife and unique culture, and be prepared for panoramic Atlantic Ocean views.


Cork

Cork Highlights

Blarney Castle and Stone

Nearby Blarney Castle, which was built nearly six hundred years ago, is one of Ireland's great treasures, and a must for any visitor to the castle is to kiss the Blarney Stone – the legendary Stone of Eloquence – so you'll never be lost for words again!

The English Market

This charming, quirky food market is located right at the heart of the city, and is one of the world's oldest municipal markets. You can find a fantastic selection of artisan breads, delicious sweet treats, fresh seafood and produce, or simply enjoy a coffee whilst people watching.

Cultural Attractions

The perfect blend of old and new, Cork boasts a fantastic range of cultural attractions, including the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork City Gaol Heritage Centre, St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral, and St. Anne’s Church which dates back to 1722 and is known for its famous bell tower.

Just returned from a short river cruise on The Rhine which was lovely and our drivers Ian and Trina were amazing. However, I feel that Leger have let their standards drop to Shearings level since taking over the company. The Leger coaches are far superior to the Shearing brand and I don’t understand why they continue using them or advertise Shearing holidays. While the boat we sailed on was very nice I was disappointed that there was no choice of lunch or dinner menu apart from one night when you could choose meat, fish or vegetarian. Not the Leger standard I remember from previous holidays I’m afraid. People on our feeder coach that had been on a different holiday had a much worse experience and had to go out for a meal as the food was so bad in their hotel! Please drop the Shearings brand completely Leger and return to the high standards I previously enjoyed.

First time booking with Leger and it certainly won’t be my last. We were picked up in Reading and the drivers were fab. I want to say a big shout out to Dave & Rory who were absolutely brilliant the whole time. They were a great laugh. Hotel was clean and breakfast was lovely. Thanks Dave & Rory who are a huge credit to Leger.
