Uncover the wild beauty and storied past of Ireland and Northern Ireland on this 12-day journey. Follow ancient stone paths through Glendalough’s mist-veiled valley. In Belfast, uncover the city’s modern identity through its vibrant street art and powerful murals. At the Giant’s Causeway, stand before nature’s geometry, perfectly ordered and otherworldly. Learn the secrets of traditional soda bread in Tracey’s farmhouse kitchen, warm with the scent of griddled flour and turf smoke. Travel by jaunting car beneath the shifting skies of the Ring of Kerry, then pause at the Cliffs of Moher, where wind and sea meet in endless motion. In Donegal, Lough Eske Castle offers quiet luxury amid deep woods and still water—a moment of calm, wrapped in history. From Galway’s painted shopfronts to the grandeur of Glenlo Abbey, this journey is a masterclass in contrast: wild and refined, timeworn and timeless.
