Shannon & Erne

FISHING

In the Irish Republic you're absolutely free to fish as you will. Welcome to a fisherman's paradise : bream, roach, tench, pike, perch and salmon ( special regulations apply for this) are all abundant.

In Northern Ireland however a fishing licence is required, and checks are made. Upper and Lower lough Erne are waters particularly prized by fishermen. Ballinamore has an excellent shop for fishermen where you can get good advice and where they will recommend suitable baits for each type of fish at differing times of year.

GOLF

Ireland boasts around 300 of the world's finest golfcourses. The game arrived here from Scotland at the end of the 18th century and has become a part of the way of life, played on lush courses often set in magnificent scenery. Along your cruising route there are a number of 9 and 18 hole courses open to the public.

IRISH HIGHPOINTS

Music has always played an important part in Irish life and still does so without any false touristic overtones. The songs and ballads of the past are handed down from one generation to the next. Typical instruments like the fiddle, and uillean pipes (a variety of bagpipe) are still played, and every Irishman knows the words of dozens of folksongs.

In Ireland the gentle climate is ideal for the many well-stocked gardens lovingly tended by generations of gardeners. In this verdant land, the golfcourses too benefit from the softness of the climate. The lush pastures produce lamb, hams and sausages incomparable in flavour. Irish cuisine will agreeably surprise the most demanding gourmet.
