Southwest Ireland Book

This comprehensive new edition takes you beyond the famous beauties of the Kerry Hills and the romantic ruins of castles and abbeys, down the fuchsialaden lanes of Cork and into places where you can put your feet up beside the turf fire, a glass of velvet Guinness in hand, and let Ireland come to you. There are special sections on such topics as the fairy people, the famine, tracing your ancestors and the meaning of Irish place names. Plus all of the practical information you need to make the most of your stay, information on where to sail, fish, play golf, hunt and ride; personal recommendations of accommodation for all budgets; up-to-date timetables and prices and detailed maps.
