The largest county in Ireland, County Cork, is nicknamed the Rebel County. Castles and manor houses dot the countryside, each with its own story to tell - Ireland's oft tragic history among them. It offers a landscape of unparalleled beauty, its coast providing opportunities for sailing, swimming, and scuba diving. Golf, horseback riding, and fishing are just a short step inland, as is the world famous Blarney Castle, allegedly the source of the Irish ability to charm in conversation. From the excitement and energy of Cork City to the unsullied countryside of West Cork, to the breathtaking coastline, County Cork offers something for everyone. And once you have seen the sun set over Kinsale, dined on the freshest seafood and wandered the county's hills and valleys, you'll find yourself never wanting to leave.
A favorite vacation package that allows you to experience the best of Ireland on your own terms! Spend a pleasant stay in Dublin (home to a rich literary tradition, stunning scenery, and fantastic food). On your last morning, pick up your rental car and head for Cork (along the way you can stop to see the charming Blarney Castle, whimsical sculpture gardens, and moody Drombeg Stone Circle) for an overnight. Then, continue to Killarney (the unforgettable Muckross House and Gardens are a must-see, as is the breathtaking Ring of Kerry) and Galway(from which you can discover Connemara and the windswept Cliffs of Moher). Finish your stay in lively Limerick (a bubbling, revitalized city that honors its past as it looks to the future).
