EMBRACE THE GREAT OUTDOORS – IT’S FOR ALL OF US

Fáilte Ireland wants to share with you some of the many great escapes you can experience in Ireland, spanning the tranquil midland area of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands; the rugged coastal regions of the Wild Atlantic Way; the rich historical regions of Ireland’s Ancient East; and Dublin — a vibrant city nestled between mountains and sea. Sometimes it’s easy to forget just how great Ireland is. If you love being outside and connected with nature, it truly is paradise.

Whatever region you’re in — Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands, the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland’s Ancient East or Dublin — you will be able to switch off from the pressures of modern life and enjoy time in the outdoors with loved ones, or just by yourself.

And you’ll be spoiled for choice, no matter what it is that you are interested in.

A cycling lover? There are innumerable routes and loops and greenways that will help you to get to know Ireland that much better.

How about watersports? You can improve your skills and develop new ones throughout the country — even in the heart of Dublin city.

Fancy a break with a group of friends? There are adventure centres in every region to let everyone work off some steam, or if you’re after something a little more relaxing, horseback riding and river cruises are yours for the taking.

When it comes to embracing the Great Outdoors in Ireland, the only limit is your own imagination. Being outside in the open air is not only a great way to get acquainted with a new location — it’s great for your soul too.

There’s a great escape around the corner for each and every one of us.
