2 A JOLLY TIME IN IRELAND & BRITISH ISLES Santorini, Greece While the British Isles and the Republic of Ireland boast magnificent gateway cities, taking a tour which begins or ends in London or Dublin and then venturing out on the by-ways of the countryside offers quaint and memorable experiences. Take time to savor the regional dialects and cuisine in rural England, Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland s historic villages. IRELAND Wicklow Mountains, Ireland Georgian Dublin is truly eye candy for those strolling its streets, or hopping on a motorcoach. You will marvel at its old neighborhood s with famous ornate painted doors. Imposing St. Patrick s is almost as old as the city itself. Duck into the cemetery for amazing Celtic cross monuments. Another Celtic spirituality treasure is found in the Old Library of Trinity College the illuminated manuscript of the 8th century Book of Kells. Just south of the city, the Wicklow Mountains magically appear and a guided visit to the 6th century monastic ruins of Glendalough will help you understand how St. Kevin helped spread Christianity throughout Ireland. A drive along the south coast will take you to the charming old port of Cobh, which was the last port of call for the Titantic. The harbor is also the home of the Cobh Heritage Centre which depicts the varied history of immigration from Ireland and many European countries to the United States over the past 150+ years. GREAT BRITAIN Edinburgh, Scotland When arriving in London, a day or two is enough to see the highlights of the world s most visited city. Choose your mode of sightseeing from a panoramic coach tour, a 1-2 day Tube Pass, or a hop-on hop-off red double decker bus. Must see sites include Big Ben, Parliament, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Westminster Abbey, and the Tower of London. Then head out to the countryside in any direction to experience Britain s quaintest villages. In the north you will find the Lake District, a tranquil, timeless area. Here the great poets Wordsworth, Byron, Beatrice Potter and others penned their masterpieces. Grasmere was the home and final resting place of the famous poet William Wordsworth. Heading a bit farther north, you will cross the remnants of Hadrian s Wall and into Scotland s Robert Burn s villages. Castle ruins dot the landscape and friendly pubs will welcome you for a pint or two. To the west of London discover the limestone and thatched roofs of the Cotswolds villages with memorable names like Bourton-onthe-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Stratford-Upon-Avon. Continuing further west into Devonshire and Cornwall you ll arrive in King Arthur Country. Tiny Glastonbury is notable for its myths and legends concerning Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail, and Arthur s Queen Guinevere. The coastal villages of Cornwall offer breathtaking sunsets, humble cuisine, and more sheep than you can count. London, England And to the north is Wales with its rugged north coast beauty and challenging language! Here you can explore one of Europe s best preserved medieval towns, Conwy, with its imposing castle and just down the road, picturesque Betws-y-coed. More villages await you with improbable names like Aberaeron, Pontrhydfendigaid or Rhayader! Take the road less traveled! 2 VACATION MAKERS AUG 2017
