What a delightful way to spend a couple of hours in this part of the world. The short video, served with refreshments, followed by a very informative tour of the memorabilia was fascinating. The guide judged his audience so well. He provided enough information to bring the material alive but without over burdening us. All questions were answered fully and the building housing the museum is delightfully refurbished, retaining all its best original features. Our guide personally took us to visit Michael Davitt’s grave. We learned so much about our history and the role Davitt played in it. Our thanks to the inspirational guide and staff of the museum. I would highly recommend this tour to all ages.

We popped into this bar hoping for a decent pint and a bit of shelter from the cold. What a delightful discovery to find a warm fire, a fantastic pint of Guinness, and a hearty welcome from the owner. We were disappointed we couldn't stay for longer but now we've discovered it, we will definitely be back!
