Take a Trip to Ireland
Every year the Emerald Isle sits with arms open on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean waiting to welcome more visitors to her shores.
From the Ring of Kerry to the Rebel County of Cork, from Malin Head to Croke Park in Dublin, there really is a story waiting to be told for everyone.
If you’ve never been before you might be daunted by the idea of planning a trip to Ireland but we happen to have a handy solution…
Ireland Family Vacations
Our friend Jody at ‘Ireland Family Vacations’ understands the value of information, especially when travelling!
Jody Halsted, a writer, publisher and founder of Ireland Family Vacations, has been travelling back and forth to Ireland for over ten years from the United States, both by herself and with her family.
What you’ll find at Ireland Family Vacations is “a treasure trove of information” with every question you can think of answered in detail! From the best travel gear to handy tips on saving money this site is a must-read before we welcome you over for the craic!
Squiring Through the North of The Island
Emerald Heritage is about many things. We encourage Irish culture and heritage and save land to create new native Irish woodlands. As such, we are building the largest worldwide community of Irish landowners in a quest to save our Island from the developers digger for future generations. Importantly, we also want to connect with other likeminded Irish people out there!
If, like Jody, you think we’re stronger together then get in touch!
As you can see, in the pictures Jody kindly gave us permission to use, we really do welcome everyone with open arms.
Our partner Jodie (Ireland Family Vacations) has teamed with Emerald Heritage for another Irish Gathering in 2021!! So why not come along!

Jody's new book
Planning the Ireland Vacation of Your DreamsEven if you’re beyond the age when you're “supposed” to believe in faeries, the moment you step foot in Ireland a feeling of possibility washes over you. You just don’t know what could be at the top of those castle towers or at the end of the rainbow. Jody Halsted, the publisher of Ireland Family Vacations and host of the Traveling in Ireland Podcast, has been traveling through Ireland solo and with her family for 20 years. In that time she has learned how to avoid the heaviest crowds at the most popular tourist spots, uncovered amazing tours and attractions 'off the beaten path', and discovered dozens of money saving tips to help you experience more of Ireland and keep your Euros & Pounds for special splurges and memorable souvenirs. Jody begins at the beginning- when is the best time to visit Ireland?– and works through every phase of your trip: flights, transportation, lodging, attractions, dining, and even how to plan your vacation budget to make the most of every cent. A handy 'Countdown to Ireland' checklist assures you won't forget anything as you prepare for your amazing vacation.
