We left Dublin after a whirlwind visit and carried on south to the final stop of our Ireland travels.  We are on a farm 10 km south of New Ross (Ros Mhic Thriúin) in County Wexford.  Read more →

After Donegal our route took us north and west towards the town of Ballycastle in Northern Ireland.  Our apartment, Molly’s Loft, was 10 minutes south of Ballycastle surrounded by quiet farmlands with fabulous views of the hills, and close to many attractions on the coast of Northern Ireland.  Read more →
