Discover the riches of the UK, Wales and Ireland and save!

Shrouded in mysticism and dotted by ancient monuments, Ireland is a unique destination of tranquil countryside, deeply rooted heritage and locals who know how to have a good time. Ireland’s coastline is among the most stunning you’ll ever witness. The Wild Atlantic Way is exactly as described, with spectacular cliffs, crashing surf, pretty fishing villages and hidden beaches. Visit lively

Galway, take a step back in time on the Aran Islands, and walk the woodlands of Connemara National Park, home of red deer and Connemara ponies.

On Ireland’s east coast is the famous city of Dublin. Its historical sites, from Trinity College to St Patrick’s Cathedral, are sublime, and the nightlife is like no other. Taste a pint of perfectly poured Guinness at one of the local pubs and sing along as a traditional band plays Celtic tunes. Dublin is the home of craic – the town’s word for fun – and you won’t be able to avoid being caught up in it.
