Wouldn’t it be great if you knew someone who has personally been there to guide you though the experience? For over 40 years, Brendan has been helping travelers plan, book and enjoy their special vacation. Whether it’s on your own, with a guide and a group of like-minded travelers, or a combination of the two, we will help you make it the vacation of your dreams. It starts with your reservation. One of our experts will personally handle all the details, make sure you have the information you need, share ‘insider’ destination secrets and answer your questions. When it comes to Ireland and Britain, my father and I know this part of the world intimately (some would say, better than anybody). My father grew up in Dublin, and I have visited many times, plus we’ve both been to England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales on numerous occasions. We have explored it all, from the famous ‘must see’ sights to little out-of-the-way local favorites. When we design our tours, we do so with the same care and thought that we use for our own personal vacations. Britain and, especially, Ireland hold a very special place in our hearts, and we look forward to sharing them with you. “Taking You Personally” is more than our slogan. It’s the way we want to be treated….so it is the way we want to treat you and every Brendan traveler.

    Splendid Isolation: How to Find Your Perfect Castle

    MENU monday september 7 2020 14: The stunning Lismore Castle in Co Waterford dates back to the 12th century TRAVEL Splendid isolation: how to find your perfect castle Overseas tourists often say they come to Ireland for the castles, but for now we have them all to ourselves — and there is one to suit every pocket Rose Costello Sunday August 16 2020, 12.01am BST, The Sunday Times Share Save It may sound like an exaggeration to say Ireland has a castle for every budget, but it’s true. All of that money you saved by not flying to Japan for the Olympics, or getting your highlights done, can be spent as king or queen of the castle — if only for a few days. Fabulous estates are available to rent for upwards of €50,000 a week, with a chef, butler and other sta. There are also rustic towers where you can play chieftain in front of a roaring fire. Those who are short of cash can camp in the shadow of a ruin, though it’s advisable to avoid the one next to the M50. Cong Camping, Caravan and Glamping Park in the picturesque Mayo village, however, will let you pitch your tent beside a 12th- century ruin; or just book into one of the many luxurious hotel castles replete with turrets and policed by Irish wolfhounds. We may not have much sunshine in Ireland but we have history by the bucketload. It is estimated there are 3,000 castles on the island of Ireland, if you count every last crumbly ruin.
  • Introducing Waterford and Its Landscape

    Introducing Waterford and Its Landscape

    Introducing Waterford and its Landscape Waterford is the most eastern of the six counties of Munster. It is a maritime county with no part of the county being more then twenty-five miles (40KM) from the sea. Waterford contains a variety of landscapes and scenery within its confines, rarely encountered in such a compact territory. In the east of the country the landscape and scenery is derived from the Caledonian folding which underpins the scenery of Leinster, Connacht, most of Ulster and Scotland. West Waterford is part of the Armorican geological province of hills and valleys running east west. Waterford County is split in two by the spectacular plateau of the Comeragh Mountains. This flat-topped massif reaches a height of over 2,600 feet (790 metres). The Comeragh / Monavullagh range of mountains, together with Knockmealdowns, convey a remoteness which encourages exploration; yet they are immediately accessible both in terms of their height and the time taken to get there from any part of the county. Here, nature is allowed full expression in a marvellously unspoiled environment. The peninsulas each side of the county, capped by Brownstown Head in the east and Helvic Head in the west, have the same breezy, invigorating atmosphere and charming fishing villages, but are quite different in character. The distinctly Celtic and Irish speaking area in the west will introduce the visitor to a unique taste of old Irish culture in a wonderfully wild landscape. The eastern peninsula is more reminiscent of Norman and English influences, with its wood-clad hills and sheltered coves. The coast between the two peninsulas shows yet another aspect of this remarkably beautiful and varied county.
