Ross Castle, Ireland

IRISH CASTLES

Historic castles dot the Irish countryside and range from stone ruins to luxurious resorts. Kissing the Blarney Stone is a popular must-do for visitors who climb to the rooftop of that castle. Johnstown Castle is a beautiful example of Gothic Revival architecture, and its lovely grounds and picturesque gardens invite guests to stroll and pause for a moment to rest. To truly immerse yourself in Irish heritage, consider Kilronan Castle Hotel & Spa where guests can golf or bike, dine lavishly at the on-site restaurant and descend into the Dungeon Bar before tucking into a four-poster bed.

CIE Tours has been escorting people through Ireland and beyond since 1932 and has a ‘happy guest’ rate of 95% to burnish their impeccable reputation.
