Cadogan Guides to Southwest Ireland

There's something really special about Southwest Ireland. It's in the heathery, dew-sprinkled countryside, the lush fields, the Burren's stony landscape and the rich earth - reflected in the work of local weavers, potters and artists. It's in the people, with their friendly, relaxed manner, their welcoming homes and long evenings of storytelling and song. It's also in the early Christian retreats on romantic, windswept islands, and the sheer, breathtaking coastal scenery, where you can watch the sea fog roll in and explore beehive-shaped cloghans, ancient stone circles and ogham stones. Cadogan's fully revised edition of Catharina Day's reputed guide will show you around: find the best thatched cottages, farmhouse B& Bs, and gracious country homes to stay in; the best places to try local seafood, the region's renowned Irish-European cuisine and mouthwatering farmhouse cheeses; and the best bars for a relaxing pint and a great evening of craic!Day, Catharina is the author of 'Cadogan Guides to Southwest Ireland ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781860111952 and ISBN 1860111955.
