Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beyond Newgrange: Hidden Castles, Ancient Sites, and Quiet Roads in Ireland’s Boyne Valley
Q: What hidden gems would you recommend off the beaten path?
Fore Abbey with the mausoleum and the Seven Wonders pub key system offers a uniquely intimate experience, plus Four Knocks for an underappreciated megalithic site; Tullynally Castle provides the Downton Abbey atmosphere with upstairs-downstairs tours.
Beyond Newgrange: Hidden Castles, Ancient Sites, and Quiet Roads in Ireland’s Boyne Valley
Q: What is the best way to tackle the Boyne Valley if someone only has a day?
An eight-hour framework typically centers on Newgrange, possibly including Nouth, Hill of Tara, and Trim Castle, with a few offshoots for history buffs; there are numerous smaller stops along the way that can enrich the day depending on interests.
Clare Island and Clew Bay: Slow Travel, Island Stories, and a Different Side of County Mayo
Q: So, Carl, thank you so much for agreeing to this after we've had a bit of whiskey. What makes Clare Island and Clew Bay unique for slow travel?
The island embodies a slower pace, intimate community, and a landscape that tells its history through the land and sea, plus unique experiences like island walks, lighthouse stays, and local food—everything aimed at meaningful, unhurried exploration rather than crowd-drawing highlights.
Discover Westport Ireland: A Perfect Base for Your Wild Atlantic Way Trip
Q: So if someone has two or three days in Westport, what are three unique experiences or places that you think every visitor should consider while they're there?
A great two to three day plan includes a Dark Sky Park stargazing night via Terra Firma for a magical offbeat experience, a walking tour to uncover Westport's stories and food spots, and a rewarding hike up Croagh Patrick to enjoy breathtaking views of Clew Bay, followed by pausing for a pint at Campbell's to soak in local hospitality.
Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail Update: What Travelers Need to Know Right Now
Q: What is the current status of access from the visitor centre to the trail?
Access between the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre and the trail is not possible; the two are open independently, with the trail closed from the visitor centre side, requiring visitors to plan alternative approaches.
