Another beautiful day at Grace Bay

Grace Bay, TripAdvisor's Best Beach for 2016 and here is why:

Miles of clean clear beach, warm seas and friendly people.  On an island full of unique and secluded places to go.  Interesting little shops in Salt Mills Plaza and lots of great restaurants.

Ireland's Ancient East

One of the more stunning trips, while in Ireland, was to Ireland's Ancient East, with it's history and beauty.

A short hour or so south of Dublin, it was worth the day to explore.

Blarney Castle, a great day trip and worth the effort :)

An easy day trip from Dublin, takes us to Cork and the home of the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle.

We took a relaxing train out of Dublin, down to the Southwestern coast of Ireland, to Cork, and enjoyed a short walk to the Blarney Castle grounds.

As well as making the climb up to the Stone, there is a fair amount of enjoyable scenery and lovely grounds to walk around.

Yup, it is a great day trip and worth the effort :)

Luggala, Guinness Estate

One of the best trips taken while were were in Dublin, was a tour of the Wicklow Mountains, and viewing Luggala, the Guinness Estate.

Absolutely breathtaking :)

Dublin Hills, Ireland

When you are visiting Dublin, it is a worthwhile trip to the Dublin Hills.

Only a short trip south of Dublin, the Dublin Hills offers a peaceful respite from the hustle of the City.

With quiet walks, historical ruins and warm hillsides, the Park is a relaxing time for you to enjoy some of the lushness that Ireland is famous for.

Salisbury

Salisbury is a beautiful English city, Southwest of London. 

I was heading to Stonehenge, via train, and came into this amazing city. 

As a lover of history, I enjoyed Salisbury Cathedral, the Rifles Berkshire and Wiltshire Museum and all the history that the City offers.
