May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Hello, and well met! I am a recent retiree, and freelance writer, living in Northern California, USA, and decided to fulfill a long time wish to visit Ireland, making it my next goal in my travel list. I’ve been to Mexico, Japan, China, Canada, and all over my own country, but have not yet made it to Europe at all. Since I have a fair amount of Irish in my ancestry (along with bloody English, too, sad to say, and a bit of Scots blood, as well; the Moore’s were liberal and tolerant, I suppose….), I decided to explore as much of Ireland as I’m able to while I’m young enough to enjoy it without undue wear and tear….so, I found your website, through a Twitter account I follow that listed one of your blog posts (on 7 must pack items for Ireland travel), and would like to request more information on touring Ireland, either singly, or with a group. At this time, I don’t know if I will travel with a companion, or alone; I am only certain that I am coming for sure. In my long winded way, I’m requesting whatever information and help you can give me to enhance my trip. I have a valid current passport, and no criminal record, so entry should not be an issue. Thank you very much for whatever assistance you can give me. Sincerely, Ned Moore, aka gigoid
Ned, I’ve sent you a lengthy reply to your email. Hope to hear more from you! Beir bua Bee
Hi, I am an artist/writer from Australia. I will be visiting Ireland from May to August 2012. I am very interested in visiting a number of thin places and ancient sacred sites that are away from the main tourist routes. I will be travelling by public transport. Could you advise me of any stone circles and other neolithic sites that you know that are accessible by public transport or that are within walking distance of a bus or train station. Is it possible to vist the forest and national park in Cavan without a car.
Thankyou – Suzanne
Tricky Suzanne, but not impossible. I feel a blog post coming on, so stay tuned to the blog for more about getting around Ireland using just public transport.
I’ve written a blog which addresses your questions in greater detail then I could in an email.
See the long answer at http://irishblessingstours.com/blog/2012/04/11/is-it-possible-to-travel-around-ireland-using-only-public-transport/
Thanks for asking the questions. It’s inspiring to know what travelers need to know.

Greetings Bee,
As you may have deduced from the name, I’m a Celtic old guy with roots in County Antrim and most likely the Highlands and Isles as well? I will be traveling with some friends to Scotland in May 2014 (their tour/pilgrimage), but am hoping to make an extension of my own personal pilgrimage to Northern Ireland. My mother and a sister both traveled to Ireland, but only the Republic, and that was before I discovered our family’s roots in Antrim and the Highlands. So, for one named after the Saint, I must make that trip up north. I will likely make this an individual journey (I’m a monkish sort and like that sort of thing.) I expect to connect with family (Watters) who want me to connect them to North America and they in turn hope to connect me to Scotland, and thereby complete a circle of Celtic family heritage that has been broken since emigration to North America. Just hoping for some advice on where and what you would suggest for a pilgrim who loves the book of nature and people of peace, as well as the Holy Trinity.
only by Grace,
Patrick
Hello Patrick
I am so glad that you are touring Northern Ireland, a real hidden gem.
For roots and shoots trips, you really need to spend an entire day at the Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh. See my blog post here
http://www.irishblessingstours.com/blog/an-a-z-of-things-to-see-in-ireland-the-ulster-american-folk-park/
If you are doing a self-drive then do take the Antrim Coast Road, which I write about in this blog post
http://www.irishblessingstours.com/blog/an-a-z-of-things-to-see-in-ireland-beaches/
With Patrick as your patron there is plenty of prospects for pilgrimage. First off, Armagh, you can read about here:
http://www.irishblessingstours.com/blog/seven-things-to-see-and-do-in-ireland-county-armagh/
Downpatrick, where all Ireland’s three patron saints are buried, is another point you might consider. The Struell Holy Well complex is fantastic. But if you fancy a smaller holy well then St. Patrick’s Holy Well near Belcoo is a lovely place for pilgrimage. Learn more about that here:
http://www.irishblessingstours.com/blog/seven-things-to-see-and-do-in-ireland-county-fermanagh/
Lastly, I am a trained tour guide with the Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark and I am available for guided tours within the ancient kingdom of Breifne. For a taster of some walks please see this blog post.

Many thanks Bee, I have some more research and reading to do now, and will likely be in touch soon.
