Ireland’s Sacred Cathedral Route

There’s something timeless about stepping into an Irish cathedral. These sacred spaces are far more than places of worship—they are keepers of Ireland’s most powerful stories. From ancient monastic settlements and Viking strongholds to Gothic masterpieces and post-Emancipation triumphs, each cathedral marks a chapter in the island’s spiritual and cultural history. Walking through their echoing naves and weathered cloisters, you’ll encounter saints and scholars, bishops and builders, all woven into the very stones beneath your feet

Around the World

Explore Without Limits

Lose yourself in epic nature by driving the country’s looping roads. Take to the water and explore – searching for colonies of seabirds, shoals of fish and views of incredible islands

Above the Ocean’s Edge

If you know anything about the Faroe Islands, then you have probably seen Lake Sørvágsvatn! This is the lake that literally appears to float above the ocean on top of a rugged cliff. It is also called Lake Leitisvatn, as well the area being called Traelanipia or the Slave Cliffs

Meet the Stars of Mykines

Mykines, an enthralling island in the Faroe archipelago, is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and a thriving puffin colony. Visitors can take a ferry to Mykines Island to see charming seabirds in their natural habitat

Adventures in the Faroe Islands

From dramatic hikes and wild surfing to puffin spotting and vibrant cultural festivals, the Faroe Islands offer endless thrills. Explore fjords by boat or find peace in nature’s raw beauty - there’s something here for every adventurer

Arts & Culture

Deeply rooted in long-standing traditions, culture and arts in the Faroe Islands are constantly being renewed and adapted to contemporary Faroese life and identity

Scotland’s Mythical Places

Scotland is a place where history and myth share the same ground. Misty lochs, lonely standing stones, and dramatic coastlines have shaped stories of creatures, fairies, ghosts, and heroes for centuries. From the dark waters of Loch Ness to the Callanish Stones on Lewis, the landscape is full of legends that refuse to fade.

Picture yourself beside the clear blue Fairy Pools on Skye or walking the quiet paths of Doon Hill, a place long linked to the hidden world of the fair folk. Whether you take these tales literally or simply enjoy the mystery, each site carries an energy that feels older than the stories themselves
