Reviewed By karenj558

An excellent introduction to the life and work of Seamus Heaney. Really interesting exhibition, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and great local refreshments available in the coffee shop. All social distancing measures in place including one way system and lots of sanitiser but does not take away from the experience at all.

Our family of four spent a wonderful week in Ireland and Northern Ireland in early September as part of a cultural tour from Delectable Destinations. Red Walker and ECS Travel were a huge part of what made this trip so outstanding. Informative...professional...safety first...Red became an integral part of our tour from Dublin to Rathmullan, Donegal, Slieve League, Fanad Peninsula, Derry, Giants Causeway, and over to Belfast. And when one of Red's passenger vans had mechanical issues, he and his wife Deirdre showed up with two vehicles to get us around! We all learned so much from both Red and Deirdre and felt like they became instant friends. This was simply the best way to tour the Emerald Isle!!

Roe Valley Country Park

Reviewed By MargaretS2073

We often visit the country park and just love the peace and quiet you find as you walk along the well kept paths close to the beautiful River Roe. we did a full circut of the park yesterday it took us four hours but that included a break for a coffee and we certainly were in no rush. The only thing I do feel is that if the Park service can provide dog poo bins they should also put a litter bin beside them and this might solve the problem of the litter that is lying about. Did notice someone passed a remark about the notice about dogs that worry sheep will be shot and how shocked they were about it but I think signs like that are necessary as too many dogs are allowed to run free without the owners caring where they are and the poor farmer would be even more shocked to find his/her flock and probable livelihood destroyed by roaming dogs Having been there 3 times since Covid restrictions have been lifted we have found the facilities excellent the toilets have been spotless and I would have no hesitation about using them Well done Roe Valley Forest Park staff
