The quality that most people hold Ireland in such high regard for is the sheer beauty and tranquility that its never-ending countryside boasts.

The variety of natural life is constantly teeming and flourishing, ever-ready to satisfy visitors from the whole world over. The preservation of these conditions is very important to the Irish people and therefore any tourists visiting the Irish countryside should do everything in their power to ensure that the landscapes are not polluted or littered.

From mountains that yield the most spectacular views to meticulous walled gardens that remind us of romanticism past, Ireland’s natural bounty is the highlight of its being.

Every one of Ireland’s small villages boasts national treasures, such as County Clare’s Vandeleur Garden and its astonishing attention to detail. The maintenance of this garden spans at least six hundred years, which gives visitors an impression of the Irish people’s pride in their history.

Setting foot in Europe’s most beautiful landscapes.

The wildlife that frequents the shores of Ireland is nothing short of breath-taking.

Given the right conditions, you will be able to see whales and dolphins as they slink through the waves – often coming surprisingly close to the shoreline and providing swimmers and watchers with tantalizing views of these amazing marine mammals.

Above these gentle giants you may be lucky enough to watch the migrating flocks of over six hundred species of bird that flocks to Irish shores as the autumn progresses.

Many tourist shops stock wildlife guides that outline the best viewing seasons for up to thousands of different types of animal – providing visitors with a better chance of experiencing as much of the Irish wildlife as they can.
Moving inshore, visitors can take tours to view foxes and deer amongst all the other woodland critters that call Ireland their home. Botanists needn’t fear either, as Ireland alone seeds countless varieties of wild flowers and plants.

Undoubtedly the best way to view these sights is by hiking, or alternatively by cycling along the miles of cycle-paths that have been created – allowing tourists to truly feel the diversity of Ireland’s country-side as they pass from rocky cliff-sides to rolling green valleys with less than a mile in between.

Hiring a bicycle is easy and can be done locally, although most car hire companies will be able to provide hire bikes for the entire holiday without any trouble.
