Water Activities
Traditional Irish Music
Ireland is renowned for the Traditional Music which is played in hundreds of pubs and bars up and down the country. Along the Shannon and Erne there is no shortage of pubs where you can tie up for the night and head into town for a memorable night of music. If you are wondering what you will hear, the fiddle is the mainstay of the band, likely with a flute and whistle and the traditional Irish percussion, the Bodhrán. If you're lucky you will also hear a harp and maybe the Uilleann Pipes. Most pubs only have music on a few nights a week, so you will need to plan your journey to be in the right place at the right time.
What could be better than mooring at one of the many water activity centres along the Shannon and Erne Waterways and trying out some of the many sports on offer. With your accommodation right on the water, this is the perfect opportunity to try something new.
