One Night Escape: 4* Midlands Park Hotel

Posted on 29th May 201729th May 2017by lornaduffy

A LITTLE PAMPERING GOES A LONG WAY On Saturday I escaped the hustle and bustle of Dublin and headed to the Midlands Park Hotel (formerly known as The Portlaoise Heritage Hotel) in Portlaoise for a night away with my boyfriend. It is just over an hour outside of Dublin so we arrived in no time. We […]

📍DUNQUIN PIER | KERRY, IRELAND [Save for later 📍DUNQUIN PIER | KERRY, IRELAND

[Save for later] 

Planning a road trip to Kerry? The well-known (and incredibly beautiful) Dunquin Pier is an absolute must if you’re exploring the Dingle Peninsula. It’s part of the famous Slea Head Drive so you won’t miss it. Fun fact: It’s where the shortest ferry connection to the Blasket Islands goes.

Tip: Spend a half day driving the loop around the peninsula and spend the other half day in Dingle Town.

☘️Location: You’ll find Dunquin Harbour on the Dingle Peninsula just outside of the little village of Dun Chaoin. It’s part of the Slea Head drive. 

☘️Parking: You’ll find parking near the ticket booth where you buy tickets for the Blasket Islands. There’s limited space during peak seasons - FYI!

📍CONOR PASS | KERRY, IRELAND [Save for later] 📍CONOR PASS | KERRY, IRELAND 

[Save for later] 

Planning a road trip to Kerry? Conor Pass is a must if you’re in the area.😍Not only is it one of the highest mountain passes in Ireland, it is the most dramatic and scenic route from the north to the south coast of the Dingle Peninsula.

☘️How long is it? 12km of narrow, twisting roads. 
☘️Where is it? Between Dingle on the south and Kilmore Cross on the north of the peninsula. 
☘️View points: Peddlar’s Lake on the north side and the other at the top. From the car park at the summit there are epic views north and south of the Dingle Peninsula along the Wild Atlantic Way.

Just think breathtaking views of mountains, lakes and the valley. A must if you’re planning a trip to Kerry! 🤍

A bucket-list experience in Kerry! 💚 📍Gap o A bucket-list experience in Kerry! 💚

📍Gap of Dunloe, Kerry 

A 3 hour outdoor rock-climbing experience in one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. 

We did this with @roam_wild.ire - a brand new adventure based company in Kerry. 

As soon as we got to our meeting point, Rory kitted us out with our climbing gear and we headed straight up to the cliff. He then showed us the ropes (literally) before we kicked off. We each got two sections of the cliff to climb before abseiling down. We had an incredible view of the Gap of Dunloe all morning so this was the cherry on top of an already epic day. 

This is 100% a bucket-list activity. 😍

@roam_wild.ire have lots of adventure packages including cliff camping, cliff picnics, sea cliff climbing and night time stand up paddle-boarding. I already can’t wait to plan another trip to Kerry so I can book in for one of the above! 😝🧗‍♀️Invite*

Special appeal for Obi! 💔 Obi is one of my man Special appeal for Obi! 💔

Obi is one of my many beautiful @dspcashelter dogs looking for a forever home. She’s been feeling pretty down lately so I took her out for a hike in the Dublin Mountains. Here’s how we go on…! 🐾

Obi would make the best hiking buddy. 🤍She loves being outdoors, she is superrr smart, she loves cuddles and she loves learning new tricks. How could anyone resist that face? 🐶 Her big smile would brighten up someone’s day every day. 

This poor girl has been in the shelter for 300+ days and she is starting to lose hope.💔

Think you might know someone who could give Obi the home she deserves? Please share this post to help her find her forever home!

Want to meet her? You can call into the @dspcashelter anytime between 12-4pm daily (except on Mondays). #AdoptDontShop 🧡🐾
