Northern Ireland - BackNorthern Experience Northern Experience 8 Day First Class Escorted Tour - small group tour to Northern Ireland GUARANTEED SMALL GROUP - THIS TOUR IS LIMITED TO 10 PERSONS Travel on a private guided tour along the shores of the tour of the northern half of Ireland - coasts and green, gentle slopes. Part of the fun of travel is finding new and unique areas to visit, and there are many different alternatives here. See remarkable natural formations, impressive round towers on Devenish Island, and authentic Irish heritage sites. Its a journey not to be hurried. Every twist and turn in the road will reveal new sights, well placed stopping points, offering uninterrupted views to Scotland on one side and tall limestone cliffs dissected by beautiful glens on the other. Sunday - DEPART FROM HOME Your vacation begins the moment you board your flight. Destination: NORTHERN IRELAND. Monday - DUBLIN/BOYNE VALLEY/BELFAST - MEGALITHS,
HIGH CROSSES, THE PEACE ACCORDJust north of Dublin, you find some of the most venerated prehistoric sites and monuments in the Boyne
Valley. High crosses, and pre-historic sites, (older than the Pyramids!) are
scattered amidst the countryside. Your destination is the capital of Northern
Ireland. Belfast will surprise you! Belfast is a Victorian city built on the
linen and shipbuilding trades. The ill-fated Titanic whose construction here in
1911 is still a source of civic pride and the subject of jokes. "Well
mate," goes the saying, "She was all right when she left here."
This cosmopolitan city still manages to keep its charm. On our panoramic tour,
one of the sights you will see is Hillsborough Castle through its splendid
wrought iron gates. Here the Good Friday Agreement was negotiated, agreed &
signed as roadmap for peace, political stability and economic progress. Visit
the authentic 19th century Crown Liquor Saloon, a restored national landmark,
or the colorful Botanic Gardens. (D)
Tuesday - GLENS OF
ANTRIM/GIANT'S CAUSEWAY/PORTRUSH The Antrim coast is the most scenic in all Ireland, nine wooded river valleys running down to the shore. Its a coastline sprinkled with historic castles, churches and forts. Many are now just ruins but each holds the memories of a mysterious and heroic past. A past populated by seafaring Vikings and swashbuckling tales of the ancient Irish clans. See the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, offering some heart-stopping
views of the surf below. Visit the strange natural phenomenon at Giant's
Causeway, before a welcome drink at the Bushmill's Distillery. Learn the
secrets of the special water from St Columbs Rill, as you tour Old
Bushmills, the worlds oldest licensed whiskey distillery. King James I
granted the original license to distil "Uisce Beatha" in 1608 and the
crafts and skills employed there have changed little in 400 years.(B,D) Wednesday - DERRY/OMAGH/ ENNISKILLEN
Entering the city of Londonderry, you will view the most notable and historic feature of the city the Walls, the most complete city walls in Europe. They rise to a height of 26 feet and in places are 30 feet wide. Almost a mile in circumference, they form a cobbled walkway around the city and provide a unique promenade towering above the city streets. Your guide will lead you on a walk (approximately 45 minutes) along the broad expanse of the walls Visit the Victorian 1890 Guildhall, with it's impressive stained glass windows. Derry was also where Amelia Earhart touched down, after her historic solo flight across the Atlantic. Next, pass small farm villages within sight of the bare Sperrin Mountains as you travel to the Ulster American Folk Park. Here, you book passage on a ship bound for America and emerge in a recreated Irish village of long ago. (B,D)
Thursday - BELLEEK/DEVENISH EXCURSION Visit the Belleek Pottery, producers of fine porcelain tastelfully decorated with shamrocks or delicate trellis-like plates. Magnificent lake views abound on the ancient monastic site of Devenish Island, Ireland's best example of a round tower. Return to Enniskillen, with its old world style pubs and Georgian brick buildings. (B,D) Friday - ARMAGH/TEMPLEPATRICK Discover the ancient ecclesiastical city of Armagh, the home to both Protestant and Catholic cathedrals. The Transport Museum, one of the finest in Europe, displays Ireland's largest and most comprehensive transport collection, from horse-drawn carts to Irish built motor cars, and from the mighty steam locomotives that graced our railways to the history of ship and aircraft building. (B,D) Saturday - ARDS
PENINSULA/DOWNPATRICK/NEWCASTLE Travel the Ards Peninsula to join the ferry at picturesque Portaferry. Downpatrick Cathedral, burial site of St. Patrick is next. Here, Irelands Patron Saints story is told in his own words giving visitors a real understanding of earlyChristianity in Ireland. One surprise for visitors is that during a multi-media presentation, Dr. Ian Paisleys voice can be heard. Our destination is Newcastle, nestled under the Mourne mountains. The mountains of Mourne really do "sweep down to the sea" as Percy French wrote. (B,D)
