British Isles

Belfast, Northern Ireland
Cardiff, Wales

Cork (Cobh)

Cork has more to offer than its famous Blarney Stone - despite its somewhat spectacular location atop the battlements of Blarney Castle. There’s also the gold leaf and dazzling mosaics of St Finbarr’s Cathedral as well as artisans working at traditional Irish crafts at the Shandon Crafts Centre.

Donegal

Gateway to the stunning cliff and inlet-strewn scenery of western Ireland, Donegal town offers access to the unusual 15th Century Donegal Castle, the remains of the Fransiscan friary, and the famous Magee tweedy factory where tweed from country cottages is finished off and made ready for the shops.

Douglas, Isle of Man
Dover, United Kingdom
Dublin, Ireland

Edinburgh (Leith)

The beautiful city is dominated by lofty Edinburgh Castle which towers over the city from the cone of an extinct volcano. Wander down the city’s Royal Mile, which winds past historic houses and inviting restaurants to Hollyrood House, home of the Roayl Family. Visit the superb collection of the National Gallery of Scotland and, for an impressive view over the city’s crags and spires, climb to the top of the Scott Monument.

Falmouth, United Kingdom

Galway

Once a Norman port, Galway was chartered back in 1484 by Richard III of England. Extensive trade with Spain resulted in some Iberian touches to the architecture, yet Galway somehow remains more Irish than any opther city in Western Ireland.

Greenock

Where the QE2 was built and the gateway to the art collections of nearby Glasgow and to the islands and inlets of the scenic Firth of Clyde.

Harwich
Invergordon, Scotland
Kirkwall, Orkney Islands
Leith, Scotland
Lerwick, Shetland Islands

Liverpool

For a taste of Liverpool’s rich shipping history you can sample the attractions of the restored Albert Dock - which include a branch of the Tate Gallery, fashionable shops and the Merseyside Maritime Museum. Or venture further afield to the walled medieval city of Chester.

London
Newcastle upon Tyne

Plymouth

Sir Francis Drake set out to sail around the world from Plymouth’s Barbican. Enjoy a stroll along the promenade, drink in panoramic views of the waterfront and browse through shops housed in restored Elizabethan buildings.

Portland
Portsmouth
Southampton
Stornoway, Scotland
Tresco, Scilly Isles

Waterford

Home to Waterford Crystal, whose factory tour and magnificent Visitor Centre/Gallery is a worthy centrepiece. The city is of Viking origins and boasts Europe’s oldest mortared fortress in Reginald’s Tower . The old city’s waterfront has been described as “the noblest quay in Europe”. Nearby is Waterford Castle and Woodstown House where the late Jacqueline Kennedy stayed with her family the year after JFK died. Also worth a visit are Kennedy Park (an arboretum), Hook Lighthouses, Tintern Abbey, Duncannon Fort, and Dunmore East (arguably Ireland’s prettiest seaside village - the QE2 has anchored there).
