One of them being a famous national park, Coole Park, which is where the literary revival of Ireland took place to see a walled-garden, an autograph tree with the autographs of William Butler Yeats, Lady August Gregory and John Synge amongst many others. There will also be an excursion to Kinvarra, a well-known fishing village and to the Burren National Park an area of archeological and geological interest. We also visit the famous Burren perfumery.
