We serve “time out” vacations that explore Ireland’s colourful ancient past, set in breathtaking scenery through north and west Ireland. We are amongst a lot of green. We also bring our visitors close to nature through its flowers, colourful birds, wildlife, nature’s sounds and what many now describe as its “Celtic Spirit”.  

How long you stay and travel with us is up to you.

You may choose a day, short break, or full vacation.

We are also popular for arranging group and family re-union tours and vacations. 

Overall, Celtic Ways vacations are not just itineraries of touring and activities but offers the experience of being part of Ireland’s tradition and spirit. The historic hardships of Ireland are only a small part of its heritage. We invite you to share with us its bigger tradition of being close to nature and nature being close to you.

After some time with Celtic Ways we are sure that you will take home joys, spirit and inspiration that will keep you well restored until your next deserved vacation, wherever that may be.

Also, please consider attending our annual Celtic Ways Conference commencing February 2009

"Around Bhride’s Garden"
explore ancient sacred sites and the ancient traditions of celebrating the seasons

Our guided visits to our abundant local passage cairns, stone circles and sacred wells are a very popular inclusion in the itineraries of people visiting Ireland. Most popular are, Carrowkeel cairns, Keash caves, Kilronan well, Shannon Pot, Sidhe Beg & Sidhe Mor “fairy mounds” and Cavan’s Burren.

These are wonderful places of peace and tranquility, ideal for personal meditation, connection to a greater spirit or simply the inner satisfying warmth of being able to soak in the fresh air and gentle sights and sounds of nature. The views from these sites, especially Carrowkeel, are amongst the most breathtaking views in Ireland.

From ancient times Ireland, Scotland and other Celtic nations have maintained reverence for Bhride, as a lady spirit, “goddess”, and saint. She is revered as the nurturer of life, provider of harvests, protector of health, keeper of the hearth and inspiration of the arts. From Bhride to Brighid and from Brigit to Our Lady, her spirit has guided how we live, how we love and how we celebrate. 

Therefore, we take folks to wonderful places that link to ancient traditions of the seasons including introductions to the traditions of the four annual Celtic festivals, Imbolc (Brigid’s Day), Beltaine, Lunasa and Samhain (All Souls) that are still alive and celebrated in rural Ireland.

We do include visits to our spectacular coastline and beautiful pristine beaches, and visits to small town craft shops and country workshops.

We can also arrange time for playing golf, horse riding, fishing and canoeing.

Available from April until end of September,
single days, short breaks,
inclusion into your Ireland vacation,
or we can arrange your full vacation. 

Guide and transport cost is only €50 per person per day,
and b&b accommodation, with broadband internet,

"Two Worlds Theatre"
our retreat for writing, painting, music, photography, filming & publishing

We say “its never too late to create” so even if you do not feel you are a writer, painter or photographer but would like to try it out, this is a vacation for you.

Many visitors like to journal their vacation through writing,
art, photography and filming . Through the fall, winter and spring we combine tours to sites of inspiration in North West Ireland with courses and workshops using the facilities of our
“Two Worlds Theatre”.  

At our theatre in scenic Co. Sligo we have the studio resources and guidance for our visitors to instantly publish their work.

This is a time when we can take you from an inspiration to a creative art and then show you how to publish your work, even if you have not expressed yourselves in these way before.

Within our restored traditional thatched cottage, due to open in May 2008, we will also hold hearth-side ceilis where we invite our travellers to share a performance of their work. Real ceilis are not just song and dance but include poetry, stories, meditations and dedications.

Available from November until end of February,
single days, short breaks,
inclusion into your Ireland vacation,
or we can arrange your full vacation.
