Whiskey Tour
The original Gaelic term for whiskey was “Uisce Beatha”, meaning “Water of Life”, which shows just how important whiskey has been in the lives of Irishmen. A distillery tour tour about the history and process of the making of fine Irish whiskey in Ireland is a must for any visitor with a taste for this fine drink. You can follow the whiskey-making process from the grinding of the grain through to the casking of the finished product, and gain insight into the everyday lives of the people who work in the distillery. Of course, the tour wouldn't be complete without tasting the best of the house whiskeys. |

Londonderry
A.k.a. Derry, is the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland and one of the finest examples of Walled Cities in Europe. A walk around the walls reveals a splendid city crammed full of history, heritage, interest and a vibrant cultural scene.

Dunluce Castle
Mentioned in historical records from the 14th Century as the hoem of Richard De Burgh. It is home to the Wishing Well and Mermaids Cove and sits dramatically perched above a massive sea cliff. There are fantastic views as far as Donegal and Antrim and Derry Coast from this vantage point. A beautiful Irish Castle which will enthrall all who visit. The most colourful occupier of Dunluce Castle was Sorley Boy MacDonnell, a Scottish chieftain whose clan established their dominance in the mid 1500s. Walking around inside Dunluce Castle is a fascinating experience - it is only when you walk down from the gift shop and cross the bridge into the castle courtyard that you realize how large the castle layout actually is - something that is not so apparent from outside views. |
