Waterford Crystal, Wool Blankets, and the Fort That Looks Over Kinsale
An operator who has been driving tours the length of Ireland for more than twenty years, and has shaped this one accordingly.
Blarney Castle comes with the driver-guide's own commentary rather than a leaflet: the history, the setting, and the things worth knowing before you climb the stair.
Then Kinsale, and the countryside on the way to it, which on this stretch of coast is half the reason to go by road at all.
