When In ... Cong, Ireland

Every once in a while you find that perfect experience that helps everyone, young and old, connect with a place. On our recent trip to Ireland, it was the
Falconry at
Ashford Castle that delighted our whole group! We had 16 family members (ranging from 1 to 70 years of age!!), so finding activities that kept both the whole spectrum of relatives engaged was challenging. With a castle as a backdrop, though--plus gorgeous wooded grounds, thoughtful instruction, and stunning birds--this experience was a home run!

From the moment that you drive up to the
Ashford Castle, you know you’re in a special place. Dating back to 1228, the castle overlooks a beautiful lake, making it a perfect setting for the sport of kings. Initially, I was concerned that it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring the little ones (ages 1 and 4 years), but it worked out wonderfully.
