Competition: Tourism Ireland

Closes: Sat, 14th August 2010 09:30

With the weather warming up most of us are looking forward to enjoying a relaxing summer break away from the hustle and bustle. Holidays close to home offer more value for money and are less stressful than travelling long haul. With places like Ireland that has so much to offer right on our doorstep, you really don’t have to travel far to have the perfect summer holiday. Ireland is a place steeped in history, tradition and culture, as well as being home to some breathtaking landscapes, which are brought to life by the friendly people.

Being approximately 12 miles from mainland Britain it has never been easier to get to Ireland. Accessible by fast ferry services which run daily, it takes from 90 minutes to get there with 277 crossings each way every week. Ferry access maximises your travel time and also has the benefit of being able to take your own car, which allows you to have the freedom to go where you want. You can find a perfect country B&B, discover hidden beaches, drop in on a local festival and really get into the distinctive Irish way of life. You can pack pretty much anything you want, whether its golf clubs, bikes or walking gear and you don’t have to drive for ages.
