Navan Adventure Sports

Reviewed By Q7010DUmicheller

Navan Adventure Centre is a fantastic place, great fun for both kids and adults. We had a great family day out, all outdoor, we felt very safe as there was sanitising stations throughout. We had kids aged from 2 to 45, it was just brilliant and the staff were amazing! Can't wait to get booking again this summer!

Cork Racecourse Mallow

Corks Number One Horse Racing Venue | Top Horses | Food | Socialising | Excitement | Fun | Great Day Out | Don't Miss Out! #corkraces #racing #cork

Reviewed By sharonlynch173

My favourite part is interaction with the 'Bookies'. I am from Mallow but live in the US and there are no such thing in the USA. Also the quality of the horses, trainers and jockeys are outstanding. There are multiple areas to watch from and the excitement is always amazing. Always a great day or evening out and encompasses all ages. A great date night/afternoon, family event or friend time. Also can't fault the chips and ice cream..

Festina Lente Equestrian Centre & Walled Gardens

Festina Lente is an embracing not-for-profit organisation founded in 1988 which hosts an Equestrian Centre, Walled Gardens, Garden Centre & Educational Training Centre and provides a range of occupational, learning and employment opportunities for people whose needs have not been met in mainstream services. All activities encourage individual choice, personal development, achievement and progression. Our campus is situated in the grounds of what was once Old Connaught House: formerly the residence of the Plunket family. Festina Lente (Latin) means Hasten Slowly and is the Plunket family motto. We adopted this as the name of our organisation in 1995 because it conveys our culture perfectly. On the campus there is a two and a half acre Victorian Walled Garden. The Garden was once part of the Plunket estate and was developed during the family's ownership. Each Baron Plunket made changes to the Garden which included the addition of the kitchen garden, a large greenhouse and a pool garden. Today the Ornamental Garden has a beautiful fountain, various flower beds, borders, statues and a variety of other original features. The Pool Garden has two large rectangular pools; they are home to our terrapins and goldfish. The Kitchen Garden has a spectacular herbaceous border and a working kitchen garden where fruit and vegetables are grown in allotments. The Walled Garden is also home to our Garden Shop where we stock a variety of seeds and plants, as well as various crafts and foods. We have wonderful facilities in our Equestrian Centre; it is both a working and learning environment for hundreds of people every year. We have a reputation for excellence in coaching people of all ages and abilities who, not only learn to ride, they also learn about horse welfare and management.

This centre is simply superb. Their staff and management is outstanding, and they brought joy and learning to my students. I had brought groups to other camps in Ireland before and was always happy. From the website I had expected much the same. Instead, I found it in a different class. The number of different activities is enormous. In two weeks we could not get everything done. The quality of Skypark (better than Treetop in the Bronx Zoo!), the Laser Combat games, Ziptopia and so many water activities was astonishing. Basically, if we wanted to do ANYTHING, they got it done. Their planning was relaxed and flexible and we were regularly asked what we would prefer. Food was very good and plenty of it. Another big difference was that "evening activities" were just as excellent. And hugely varied. The town itself is gorgeous. Small and intimate, but colourful and full of life. Genuine Irish people. Still. When next I have a group we will certainly be going to Carlingford. Conor Sheedy, Napoli Italy 24 July 2019
