Photos From Our Travelers
On location in Ireland
Here’s how Grand Circle travelers have captured moments of discovery, beauty, friendship, and fun on previous departures of our Ireland in Depth vacation. We hope these will evoke special travel memories and inspire you to submit your own favorite Grand Circle Travel trip photos.
“Our tour guide wanted to show us some of the sites in the vicinity of Galway and took us to Salt Beach. This is the part of town where the locals get their walking and swimming in. She encouraged us to test the water ... a good icebreaker (no pun intended) since the tour members on the pre-trip and main trip had just joined up and hadn't had a chance to get to know each other yet.” Photo by Paul Motyka, 7-time traveler from Acton, Massachusetts.
The Rock of Cashel, an impressive archaeological site, was once a place of assembly for Irish kings. Among the ruins are those of the cathedral, which dates back to the twelfth century. The thick fortress walls serve as backdrop for Jack and Judi Corney, 24-time travelers from Niceville, Florida.
Castle-like Kylemore Abbey, Ireland’s oldest Benedictine abbey, is home to a community of nuns who have continuously lived here since 1920. Al Brown, 15-time traveler from Sedona, Arizona, captured the magical setting.
Mildred and Paul Arnold, 8-time travelers from Germantown, Ohio, “ … with our Home-Hosted Hostess, Maureen Mahon, who served us a wonderful lunch of Shepherd's Pie. This is a view from her patio in Cobh looking over the harbor and the Celtic Sea.”
Pausing along the Ring of Kerry, Margaret Slavin and Program Director, Barbara Long, share camaraderie and a pose for photographer Bud Slavin. Margaret and Bud are 2-time travelers from Columbus, North Carolina.
