Hostelling Information

Hostelling in Ireland (Republic of)

Walk along quiet beaches and unspoilt strands; horse ride over rolling hills and through deep valleys; visit castles, round towers and romantic ruins; listen to the music of flute and fiddle in local pubs. Renowned for its friendly, talkative people, the Republic of Ireland is a country of enormous charm - and a place redolent with myths and legends. Dublin, the capital, presents gracious Georgian streets and a huge literary heritage (with Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and more); County Wexford in the south east features sandy shores, bustling harbours and lively festivals; in the south west, County Cork has a spectacular coastline and pleasant farmlands; County Galway in the west offers rocky mountains, wild moors and the vibrant city of Galway itself. From Donegal in the far north to Cape Clear Island off the south coast, there are hostels well positioned to take in the best of this green (indeed emerald) isle.
