These ideals continue today, showing you Ireland the way we believe it should be seen: slowly, intimately and knowledgeably. Our terrific office personnel and great guides all share the same philosophy – “to take people into those hidden parts of Ireland that few know about and give people a real “taste and flavour” of Ireland the way we know and love it”. With today’s fast pace of life & the lack of “downtime”, we at IWHB take great pride in the trust our guests show in us to create great experiences for you. All of us in IWHB are committed to ensuring our fascination for Ireland, its’ history, culture, diversity & humour, is part of your holiday. Ireland enjoys a relaxing pace of life; beautiful and varied scenery, with the sea never far from sight & a great selection of music at night. While in Ireland, we ask you to PLEASE take your time as you discover small sections of Ireland, for if you rush, the charm of the country and the people will pass you by. The best made plans will always change in Ireland, and your adaptability to enjoy chance encounters with friendly locals, incredible characters and the odd charismatic sheep is what will make your holiday a truly memorable experience!!

From the Rose of Tralee to Dublin’s fair city, Ireland is an almost mythical land of lyrical folk song, romantic poetry, turbulent history and deep green fields. It is as beautiful as it is proud and its history of conflict and rebellion is as disturbing as it is hopeful. From the pre-Celtic hill forts punctuating the island to her dramatic seascapes and picturesque farms and hedgerows, Ireland is a land of gracious discoveries. We’ll make our base in the southwest corner of Lough Leane, Killarney the island, in Killarney, the county town of Kerry. This is part of the region that hosted the “Golden Age” of Ireland, when the religious communities kept the flame of knowledge alight while the rest of Europe was plunged into the Dark Ages. We’ll see the remnants of some of these communities as we tour the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. This year, join Discover Europe for an Irish adventure. If you feel like a longer tour, join us for The Island of Saints and Scholars and then stay on for this!

  • Ring of Kerry Itinerary
    Ring of Kerry Itinerary THE RING OF KERRY DRIVE We've driven the Ring of Kerry a few times now and it never gets old. I may not say that in a few years when every single person who visits us in Ireland wants to do a Ring of Kerry road trip but for now, let's say visiting the Ring of Kerry is an Irish rite of passage. From Donegal, it is quite a drive and it takes us around 6 hours but we decided upon a few other stops on our road trip. We drive right through Sligo which is one of Ireland's most underappreciated counties and it is spectacular. From Yeats grave to the beautiful surfing beaches Sligo is sensational. From Sligo, we headed straight to Galway City where we stayed a couple of days to enjoy the craic and the crowds. Then from Galway, we went onto to Tralee which is where we began our Ring of Kerry epic adventure. We stopped in Tralee for some epic fish and chips at Quinlan's Seafood Bar absolutely bloody spectacular food so fresh it was practically still flapping. At Quinlan's, we also heard for the very first time a true Kerry accent which is quite a thick Irish one. The slang used in Kerry is also different than the rest of Ireland so if someone calls you a "lad" and your female that's the Kerry way. By the way, the blue highlighted text is a link so you can click on it and it will open an article on that area.

Observations on the Trichoptera of the Killarney Lakes, Co. Kerry, Ireland by "JAMES P. O'CONNOR and "EDWARD J. WISE Zoological Department, University College, Dublin 4. Received 1 February, 1983. *Present addresses: National Museum of IrelC!nd, Dublin 2 (J. P. O'C.). West Loch House, Coldingham, Eyemouth, Berwickshire, Scotland TD14 5QE (E. J. W.). ABSTRACT Trichoptera were obtained in two separate surveys of the Killarney Lakes. During eutrophication investigations, larvae were collected at twelve littoral stations once 'a month for a year. As part of a special study of the Irish Trichoptera, larvae, pupae and imagines were collected extensively using both semiquantitative and qualitative techniques. The combined results of these two surveys demon­ strated that the lakes posse~sed a rich and interesting trichopterous fauna. Altogether 71 species were recorded, representing half the known Irish Trichoptera. The Upper Lake had the poorest fauna with 29 species. By contrast. 54 and 58 species were recorded from Muckross Lake and Lough Leane re­ spectively. A total of six species new to Ireland was discovered. Species of particular interest on the grounds of rarity or occurrence in lentic rather than lotic habitats included Apatania auricula (Forss­ lund), Athripsades alpifrons (Curtis) and Setades argentipunctellus McLachlan.
