Ireland Airport Guide
The 2200km (3500 miles) of Ireland's coastline embrace a remarkable
diversity of scenery and conditions from long, gently sloping
strands (beaches) and rocky sea cliffs and headlands to raised
bogs, outstanding mountains, attractive villages and towns,
prehistoric and religious sites - and a laid-back approach to
life that is without equal. The shape and comparatively small
size of Ireland means that nowhere is very far from the sea.
But beware, many of Ireland's roads are narrow, and the through
routes are heavily used.
Resorts and beaches in Ireland are uncrowded, and the tourism
infrastructure is underpinned by a network of more than 50 tourist
information offices offering help, advice, accommodation and
suggestions on all aspects of travel. Most tourist offices are
open Mon-Fri 0900-1800, closing on Saturday at 1300, but times
vary, with offices at seaports and airports generally open longer
during the summer months.
In this review, the country has been divided into six arbitrary
regions embracing a number of counties within each:
Dublin and the East Coast: Counties Louth, Meath, Kildare and
Wicklow.
Southeast: Counties Waterford, Wexford and Kilkenny.
The Midlands: Counties Monaghan, Cavan, Longford, Westmeath,
Offaly, Laios and Tipperary.
Southwest: Counties Cork, Kerry and Limerick.
West: Counties Clare, Galway, Roscommon and Mayo.
Northwest: Counties Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal. |
