Holiday Cottages in Ireland - for Kids
We have a wide range of holiday cottages all over Ireland so we cannot provide a definitive list of all the child friendly activities throughout the country. One event which is free to attend and particularly worthy of note is the Dragon of Shandon Halloween parade. Until 2006 Shandon was only famous for the bells of St. Anne and then the Shandon community joined forces to host the first Halloween parade. The Dragon of Shandon is a joint effort on behalf of the community and everyone is encouraged to dress up and join in.

When you stay at one of our holiday cottages in Ireland there is never any problem finding more mature pastimes.

Holiday Cottages in Ireland – for Everyone
One attraction which everyone can enjoy is Brú na Bóinne in County Meath. This UNESCO World Heritage site is an ancient burial ground and contains over one third of all the megalithic art in Western Europe. Built around five thousand years ago the passage tombs at Brú na Bóinne are estimated to be 500 years older than the remaining pyramids.
For thrill seekers County Londonderry may have the latest buzz to add to your wish list –zorbing. Originally invented in New Zealand, zorbing involves spinning downhill in a specially constructed, inflatable ball. Although not within easy reach of all of our holiday cottages in Ireland, zorbing is taking the world by storm and should you be passing through County. Londonderry then it might be worth bearing in mind.
