See Ireland- but see it off the beaten path! Spring is beautiful and luscious here. Soak up local culture, history, music, and a few pints...

| Steeped in the ancient history of Ireland, the Rock rises majestically over the town of Cashel. This is where St. Patrick performed his first baptism. This is where the Kings of Ireland met. This is where Cromwell locked local villagers seeking safety in a cathedral, and burned them to death. Where a beautiful chapel still stands, and the ruins of that cathedral echo the past. |

Much more economical than Cashel Palace Hotel; a nice place to stay, though. You can still have a fabulous view of the Rock, and the food's great! |
