Find a place, follow an interest and leave room for a different kind of day.

Westmeath: Fore Abbey, gardens and a town stay

Choose Mullingar or Athlone as a base, then plan one heritage or outdoor outing around it.

Choose a geology-led visit or an estate outing, with Enniskillen and the lakeland setting around it.

Choose a city rhythm or a landscape-focused break, with time for each if you have both in mind.

Pick a Kerry base for the places you want to spend time in, rather than trying to see every peninsula.

Choose architecture in Celbridge, an equestrian interest or a family outing elsewhere in Kildare.

Basalt columns, coastal villages and green glens: choose a corner of Antrim and stay a while.

Choose between a house-and-garden visit in Clonegal and a garden outing near Carlow town.

Head west towards Blacklion for landscape, or make Ballyjamesduff the focus of a history-led visit.

Give the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher and west Clare room to be different visits.

Choose a Cork city break, a day in Cobh or a longer stay in West Cork.
