  • Our 2010 Vacation in Ireland We Arrived in Dublin on Saturday, May 22 and Made the About 2-Hour Drive West to the Inny Bay B&B in Co
    Ireland 2010 Our 2010 Vacation in Ireland We arrived in Dublin on Saturday, May 22 and made the about 2-hour drive west to the Inny Bay B&B in Co. Westmeath, north of the town of Athlone in the Irish midlands, on Lough Ree. We learned a bit about using a GPS, because had neither a street address nor coordinates for the B&B. We had to get close and stop at a house to ask directions. The B&B is on private land at the end of a 2 km long private road. We took a three hour nap to adjust for jet lag, and then drove to the nearby town of Ballymahon where we had sea bass, and of course, potatoes for dinner. The Inny Bay B&B is a pretty place amid nice scenery, with pastures, swans, the lough and the Inny River. Sunday’s breakfast, like the others at this B&B was huge, with bacon, kippers, etc. We took a morning walk along the Inny River. Then we visited Locke’s Distillery Museum in Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath. It’s said to be the world’s oldest licensed pot distillery. The works and museum were interesting and the sample of its whiskey was excellent. We next headed for Clonmacnoise, in Shannonbridge, south of Athlone. It’s an early (6th century) Christian site with an Abby ruin, a church (St. Kiernan’s, Church of Ireland), a tower ruin, and a graveyard noted for its Celtic (or “high”) crosses. On our way there we spotted a castle ruin and found the curator there.

    THE BEST PLACES TO STAY G OThe L D L I S T 142 hotels that change the way we see the world THE 142 HOTELS AROUND THE WORLD WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND— AND COME BACK TO AGAIN AND AGAIN When you work at Condé Nast Traveler, the one question that’s always being THE LIST asked of you—by friends, your therapist, strangers you’ve only just met—isn’t Where should I go? More often than not it’s Where should I stay? As hotel obsessives, we get it. A great hotel isn’t simply a place to spend the night. It’s about the super-secret perfect bar just off the lobby, or the wallpaper in your suite that makes you want to redecorate your entire home. And if you love a hotel enough, 2016 it can become a reason in itself to go. ¶ For our twenty-second annual Gold List, we offer you our global short list—the recommendations we give without even thinking about it.

I warmly welcome our Stakeholder Groups, and I look forward to presenting our vision for the future of the Birr Castle Estate to you in this information memorandum. Birr, like so many other magnificent country estates in the U.K. and Ireland, proves extremely expensive to preserve, to maintain and to run on day to day basis. Successful efforts have been made to date to ensure revenue is being generated through the estate to cover our basic cash flow requirements. To date, increasing annual visitors to the estate, a thriving museum and science centre, the development of the LOFAR Programme within the grounds, a retail shop with growing sales, and one of the most successful food and beverage offerings in Birr are all testament to the progress that continues to be made.
