Ireland’s East Coast
Rich farming land, a magnet for history,
culture and comfort – with Ireland’s East
Coast you can experience cultural
diversity, breathtaking coastline, city
life and some of the country’s most
pastoral countryside.
In truth, this is a region of contrasts: to the north, gently
rolling hills and rich grazing lands, to the south the
scenic vistas that surround Dublin merge into the wild
beauty of the Wicklow Mountains. A spel in Dublin city
will introduce you to a variety of attractions, including
the Guinness Storehouse and the Jameson Distillery, as
well as a wealth of restaurants to match any taste and
pocket; while the coastline boasts superb sandy
beaches and picturesque small harbours.
The area is ripe with farmers’ markets, country markets,
organic farms, fisheries and cheesemakers. Brimming
over with quality chefs, Ireland’s East Coast offers a vast
array of top food from pub fare to the gourmet
experience. In the unspoilt medieval County Louth
village of Carlingford, 9 fine restaurants have come
together to form a Good Food Circle – each featuring
local food and wonderful sea produce. Inland, some of
the best agricultural land in the country produces
excel ent, mouthwatering beef.
