From the Back Cover:

All you need to make the most of a family trip to Ireland - without breaking the bank! Amy Corzine takes you to every part of the country, from lively cities to lush green vales and the wild, rugged west. For active families there are the best spots to horse-ride, fish, bike, sail, dive or surf, to walk amid majestic mountains or swim or just splash through the surf on Atlantic beaches. When you feel like sightseeing, there's an abundance of castles, mysterious ruins, quirky houses, folk parks, the fortresses of the ancient Celts and natural wonders like the Cliffs of Moher or the Giant's Causeway. Younger children will love the sealife centers, adventure centers, adventure parks, pet farms and seeing dolphins leaping freely in the wild. There's a real feel for the special warmth of Irish life - from music to hospitality. And throughout you are introduced to the wealth of history, myths and legends linked to every part of Ireland, to bring the places you visit alive.
Inside you will find: a lively overview of Ireland's history; stories, games, proverbs and riddles to bring the sights alive; activities for all age groups from tots to teens; hints and tips for hassled parents; advice on choosing your holiday - whether in hotels, guesthouses or self-catering; lots of child-friendly places to eat, sleep, picnic and shop.
