Ireland is a wonderful place to take a touring holiday, offering as it does, stunning natural beauty in many parts, coupled with open roads free from traffic that the English motorist can only dream about. When you take into account the unrivalled Irish hospitality you know you are on to a good thing.
Why not tour Ireland by caravan? That way you are not tied to hotel bookings or coach timetables, but have complete freedom. All you need is a modern lightweight caravan with a comprehensive specification.
Lunar caravan dealers offer a superb range of touring caravans that are compact from the outside, yet spacious inside. Once you have your van and a suitable towing vehicle you are good to go.
Sea crossings from the UK to Ireland are trouble free, and very soon you can be at one with the Irish landscape as you coast along the open road stopping wherever your fancy takes you. There are plentiful sites in most of Ireland's counties, so you have the freedom to roam at will knowing you can find somewhere to hole up overnight.
Some of Ireland's coastal regions offer magnificent scenery, as for example the spectacular cliffs in the Clare and Shannon region. The cliffs of Moher are over 300 milion years old and provide a fascinating geological journey through time. They are also home to many interesting seabirds like puffins, guillemots, razorbills, and fulmars, so it is not surprising that they are one of Ireland’s most visited attractions. Kerry, in the far west also has superb scenery, with a succession of peninsulas intersecting bays that are mesmerizing in their natural beauty. The villages in this part of the world seem untouched by the 20th century, retaining a rustic simplicity and peaceful air, only broken from time to time by the exuberance of traditional music being played in the local pubs!
Other places and sights to see include the waterways at Lough Derg, Doolin Cave, giant waves at Aill na Searrach, the Boyne Valley, and Connemara with its excellent beaches, dramatic hills, and picturesque fishing villages.
Ireland has a unique charm, all of its own, with ever changing countryside, splendid coastal scenery, and friendly people. Ireland is as yet virtually undiscovered by the holidaying masses and is a hidden gem for the discerning tourist.
