Escape to the stunning coastline of West Cork this autumn and enjoy a relaxing three-night coach holiday filled with spectacular scenery, fascinating history and warm Irish hospitality. Travelling from Dublin city centre, this carefully planned getaway combines comfortable accommodation, memorable excursions and plenty of opportunities to unwind in one of Ireland's most beautiful regions.
Your home for the trip is the welcoming Celtic Ross Hotel, beautifully located overlooking Rosscarbery Bay. Situated in the heart of West Cork, the hotel is renowned for its friendly service, comfortable guestrooms and excellent dining. Guests can relax and enjoy full use of the hotel's facilities while soaking up the charm of this picturesque coastal town.
One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to the colourful harbour town of Kinsale, often referred to as Ireland's gourmet capital. Rich in maritime heritage and lined with vibrant streets, Kinsale offers visitors a wonderful blend of history, culture and spectacular scenery. Overlooking the harbour is the impressive Charles Fort, one of the finest examples of a 17th-century military fortress in Ireland. Here, guests can step back in time while enjoying panoramic views across the coastline.
The journey continues to the dramatic Old Head of Kinsale, home to the Lusitania Museum and Signal Tower. This fascinating attraction tells the story of the RMS Lusitania, whose sinking off the Cork coast became one of the most significant events of the First World War. Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, it offers both a moving historical experience and breathtaking scenery.
No visit to West Cork would be complete without travelling along the spectacular Wild Atlantic Way to Mizen Head Visitor Centre, Ireland's most southwesterly point. Dramatic cliffs, crashing waves and stunning ocean views make this one of the country's most iconic destinations. Guests will also enjoy time in the lively market town of Clonakilty, where colourful streets, independent shops and a welcoming atmosphere perfectly capture the spirit of West Cork.
With entertainment on two evenings, delicious dinners each night and the chance to discover some of Ireland's most scenic coastal landscapes, this West Cork escape promises a memorable autumn break.
