Departures on June 2 and August 11 will stay at the luxurious Fitzgerald’s Woodlands House, located on 44 acres of beautiful grounds just outside of Adare. Adare is one of Ireland’s prettiest villages, and its history stretches back to the 12th century. Take a guided walking tour to see the village’s charming thatched cottages and ancient churches, and discover the many historic buildings that were built in the early 19th century by the Earl of Dunraven.
