  • Architectural Conservation Areas
    A3 Architectural Conservation Areas 415 A3 Architectural Conservation Areas ARDBRACCAN DEMESNE ACA Historical Development Ardbraccan House and demesne occupy an historically important site as it has been the seat of the Bishops of Meath since the fourteenth century. The house is set in mature pasture land with formal and walled gardens. The construction of the house commenced c. 1734 to the designs of Richard Castle and was completed in the 1770’s to the designs of James Wyatt, Thomas Cooley and the Rev. Daniel Beaufort. Built Form The domestic and agricultural outbuildings associated with Ardbraccan House display an exceptionally high level of architectural design. These include piggeries, granary, dovecotes, bell tower, bullock sheds, carriage house, fowl yards, laundry yard, pump yard, slaughter house, vaulted stables, and clock tower. The Demesne structures include the gate lodges, entrance gates and walls, ha-ha, eel pond, ice house, vineries, grotto, and water pump. The detached two-storey four-bay house, possibly the farm manager’s house, was built c.1820, of randomly coursed limestone with roughcast render and raised rendered quoins. The particular interest of this building is in its relationship with the single-storey cottages to the immediate north. Within the demesne are other structures – St Ultan’s Church and graveyard, Infant school, dated 1856, and holy well. Objectives 1. To preserve the character of the demesne, its designed landscape and built features by limiting the extent of new development permitted within the demesne and requiring that any such development respect the setting and special qualities of the demesne. 2. To require that all works, whether of maintenance and repair, additions or alterations to existing buildings or built features within the demesne shall protect the character of those buildings and features by the use of appropriate materials and workmanship.

  • Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide
    Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide Overview of Shannon The River Shannon and the Shannon region of Ireland are famous for their beauty, but the city bearing the same name is largely overlooked by tourists. Shannon was a 'planned' town, built in the 1960s as a satellite to nearby Limerick. For this reason, the city lacks the old-world charm of many Irish towns. However, Shannon makes a convenient stop on any tour of the country due to its airport, the second largest in Ireland. Because of its location, Shannon is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful County Clare, which includes famous attractions like Bunratty Castle, the Burren Caherconnell Stone Fort, Craggaunowen Castle, the famous Blarney Stone, and Dromoland Castle. Nature lovers will find plenty of spectacular landscapes to explore, including Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, and the beaches of Spanish Point. Shannon is also a good starting point for walking tours of Dingle and the Ring of Kerry, or cruises on the river itself. Dolphin watching is a popular activity from Carrigaholt pier, while Loop Head peninsula is home to a large puffin colony. While the town of Shannon isn't as cosmopolitan as larger cities like Dublin or Galway, it has a good selection of restaurants and bars, and a friendly atmosphere that will make any traveller feel welcome. Key Facts Language: English is the principal language, although a minority of people speak Irish (Gaelic). Passport/Visa: All foreign passengers to Ireland must be able to show proof of sufficient funds to cover their stay in the country. Additionally, passengers should hold return/onward tickets, and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination, as immigration officers might demand that they demonstrate proof of their intention to leave Ireland.

  • Tips for You Rehearsal Dinner
    Tips for you Rehearsal Dinner (in Ireland) In Ireland : Rehearsal Dinners are not standard in Ireland in fact many couples don't have an event the night before the wedding. However thanks to all of the amazing destination weddings we have organized for couples from the USA in Ireland, lots of venues are now familiar with a rehearsal dinner & will most likely ask you when you are booking your wedding reception if you would like options to consider. Hosts: Traditionally hosted by the parents of the groom but now can be hosted by the couple or jointly by both sets of parents. Budget: Create a budget for the dinner As your wedding planners we will incorporate this cost into your overall wedding budget. Guest list: While there are no rules the traditional rule of thumb was at least all “out of town” guests are invited. However that will depend on the budget & the hosts. If budget permits particularly as you are having a destination wedding you might decide to invite all guests & have it as a Welcome Party. Style: The formality is at the discretion of the hosts but whatever happens ensure not to overshadow the wedding day! If you are having a formal wedding you might opt for casual , more relaxed rehearsal dinner or you may decide to have it formal as a sneak peek of the wedding day . Format: • Ceremony Rehearsal attended by wedding party /parents • Discreet distribution of wedding party gifts by the bride & groom • Great opportunity for a Meet & Greet with all of your guests. • Opportunity to formally & informally welcome guests to your very special celebration.

Comment l’expliquer ? Est-ce le paysage, tantôt accueillant et parfois empreint d’une redoutable beauté ? La réponse se trouve- t-elle parmi ses innombrables témoins silencieux d’une longue et riche histoire: ses dolmens et tumulus mégalithiques, ses fortins circulaires de l’époque celtique, ses milliers de petits châteaux médiévaux en ruine ? Ou alors peut-être dans son folklore encore si vivant, et pourtant millénaire, ses sources d’eau sacrée, ses arbres aux fées, ses fêtes païennes et son église celtique… Ce programme puise son essence dans tous ces aspects de l’Irlande à la fois. Et pour vous accompagner dans cette aventure initiatique, votre guide est un authentique «seanachai» : un conteur de la tradition orale irlandaise, dont les récits se transmettent depuis l’époque des bardes !

    IRELAND & SCOTLAND 2009/10 www.BrendanVacations.com 15th-century Ross Castle overlooks the Lower Lake in Killarney 2 | www.BrendanVacations.com Welcome Dear Traveler, Taking a vacation to Ireland and Britain is exciting! 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.
