The picturesque South of Ireland is famed for its relaxed pace of life and outstanding natural beauty. Encompassing the counties of Carlow, Cork, Kerry, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford, the South promises a wealth of variety whether you want to tee off on a lush coastal links or take some precious pampering time in a world-renowned spa. 

With an exquisite coastline that ranges from rolling green hills in the South East to the craggy, mountainous peninsulas of West Cork and Kerry, the sea is central to the identity of this region with a range of excellent watersports, delicious seafood and romantic stretches of deserted beach. 

West Cork is fast gaining a reputation as Ireland’s top gourmet spot; Kerry boasts an abundance of incredible spas, while Waterford and Wexford are well-known for their pretty, sun-warmed beaches and lovely coastal villages.

Inland lie the vibrant counties of Kilkenny, Tipperary and Carlow, with their ancient heritage, endless festivals, cracking pubs and peaceful riverways. 

Throughout the South, you’ll be thrilled with endless opportunities for sightseeing, exceptionally picturesque landscapes, great shopping, adventure and outdoor activities, lively towns and villages, and some real gourmet delights.
