Knitting has been part of Irish life since it was introduced in the 1600s. Knitting schools were established throughout the country, and knitting became an industry and a source of income for many households in the 18th century. An abundance of sheep and a surfeit of time on our hands have led us to produce an abundance of woolly goods. Knitting is one of the world’s greatest stress relievers and a personal and creative way to make a gift. Aran sweaters, with their detailed patterns, are a symbol of Irishness around the world and continue to inspire contemporary fabric designs.

Join us for our upcoming woolly tour that will get your needles clacking………….

More often than not, an old tower or castle ruin stands proudly, a symbol of the country’s history. As a small country with big history, castles were a common symbol of power and protection. Eventually these castles began to be replaced by Tower Houses, which then were developed into much bigger estates and symbols of the finest architectural design. An Irish castle or manor home represents hundred of years of history, which is undoubtedly why so many people are fascinated with them. Not many experiences can be trumped by staying in an authentic Irish castle or manor- with some built as early as the 13th century, they have been restored to the highest standards of luxurious accommodation.
