Just breathe in the fresh air!

North and North-West Ireland – where you’re always very close to nature

Spectacular coastal scenery, beautiful bays and glorious sandy beaches lapped by Atlantic Ocean waves, imposing mountain tops, meandering rivers and lakes, stunning natural wonders... a very special part of the world.

Even to picture the scene, in your mind's eye, serves to invigorate the mind and spirit.

Spectacularly scenic countryside on the shores of the crystal clear, blue waters of the great Atlantic Ocean.

A dramatic coastline, with rugged and windswept cliffs, a multitude of beautiful bays and glorious sandy beaches.

Some of the most stunning sights you will ever wish to experience, ranging from a 60 million year-old natural history phenomenon at the Giant's Causeway to Europe's tallest cliffs at Slieve League.

A landscape dominated by wonderful rivers, including the River Shannon, the longest waterway in Ireland and Britain, as well as tranquil lakes and spectacular mountain ranges.

Colourful towns and villages, each with their unique character, dotted through the uncrowded and unspoilt region.

If these images grab your attention, then imagine, for a moment, what it would be like to experience them for yourself...

... to go to North and North-West Ireland and just breathe in the fresh clear air!

... to feel a real sense of wellbeing as you make the invigorating climb to the top of imposing mountain ranges, with names that evoke a rich history and colourful past such as Knocknarea, Benbulben, Mount Errigal and the Sperrins.

... to watch gentle streams gather momentum as they find their way down the mountain sides to form the thousands of rivers and lakes that populate the countryside all around you.

.... to explore, and marvel at, the lush green landscapes of rolling lowlands and enchanting glens, none more famous than the world-renowned nine Glens of Antrim.

Why wait any longer? It's time to make those dreams come true - to travel to this compelling part of Ireland, take a deep breath and enjoy the memorable experience!
