Horse-drawn Caravans
 Horse
drawn caravans are available for hire in counties Cork,
Kerry and Wicklow. It is a wonderful, relaxing way to appreciate
the countryside. It is, however, slow. Expect to cover about
10 miles per day. Be prepared too for some work - feeding,
grooming and harnessing your horse can be time consuming
and take effort. The caravans are generally designed to
cater for four persons and are fairly basic. They come with
a gas cooker and utensils, crockery etc. are provided. They
do not, however, have toilet facilities. In high season,
expect to pay €500-€600 for a week's hire plus
about €8.50 per night for overnight parking.
Inland Waterways
 The
three main waterways for cruising are the River Shannon,
the Grand Canal and the River Erne. All three are exceptional
for fishing and birdwatching. Cruisers range in size from
two to ten berths, all have refrigerators and gas cookers,
most have heating, hot water and showers. Dinghies, charts
and safety equipment are included in the package. Experience
in handling a boat is an advantage, but not a prerequisite.
Training will be provided. Click

Cabs (or Taxis)
There are metered cabs (also called taxis) available at various
locations such as railway stations, ports, airports and
taxi ranks in main cities. Elsewhere, it is possible to
book hackney cabs where fares are agreed by arrangement
with the driver in advance. Details are available in the
telephone directories. |
