For parents, the attraction is that Horizon look after their children 24/7 from once they are picked up at the special pick-up points around the country - parents don't have to worry at all.

Horizon camps include multi-activity holidays where children can throw themselves into a wide range of activities such as kayaking, climbing, dragon-boating, horse-riding, quad-biking, and many other activities.

Or, if they wish, they can concentrate on a specialist camp such as the multi-media programme, or horse-riding for the week. Many teenagers opt for the "surf camp", for example, because the coastline adjacent to Westport offers some of the best surfing in Europe.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18322 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11832
This was the pub in which a famous political interview took place in 1992 which ultimately caused the (in)famous Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Charles Haughey to resign! The chair in which the interview took place is in the pub signed by the interviewee himself.

I am Irish myself & have travelled all over Ireland and be rest assured you will find it difficult to find somewhere as unique as this! While not in a central location in Ireland it is well worth taking a detour to this place.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11832 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8535
My wife emerged radiant an hour later from her Seaweed Bath having enjoyed sharing it with a variety of whelks, weeds and winkles. And do you know that this place is so booked up there’s no chance of any of those therapies or baths for at least a week?

My wife swears blind about how much good it does the skin and how it removes the toxins from the system and…]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8535 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8530
The rooms are spacious, each furnished with a safe and supplied with complimentary bathrobes and slippers. The bathrooms are a delight with huge soft towels and Gilchrist and Soames bath products – it is the epitome of luxury.

Our room looked out to Croagh Patrick and beyond to the ocean’s silver of Clew Bay.

In the morning, laze breakfast away over the second pot of tea or coffee after the fluffy poached eggs on slivers of toast or the grilled Dover sole or the creamed porridge with cinnamon…

Afterwards, sit in the foyer and read the morning papers while the world passes gently by. The foyer is one that immediately welcomes - there is a comfortable atmosphere with relaxing seating and lighting – a pleasant setting to do the crossword in the Irish Times - the easy one.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8530 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8529 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8529 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8527
All around the area are huge beaches, the Silver Strand being one of the best. These are strands to wander along at the water’s edge and feel the winds drifting in from warm ocean currents born in the tropics.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8527 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8523 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8523 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8522
Everywhere there is a buzz of different languages and accents in the shops and bars. There is a greengrocers here with the freshest garlic, the sweetest of peppers and the most succulent mangoes.

This town is a retreat for the rich and famous, “…and did you not see Madonna a moment ago?”… or “… Bob Geldof was only saying the other day…” hence the gourmet quality foods in the shops.

The town is honeycombed with bars all doing pub grub with lots of seafood dishes. Mick Molloy’s, John Joe O’Malley’s, The Porterhouse …And live music at night that goes on to…]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8522
