Show Z ' I 1 by Judy Graham Holiday In Erin Ever think of spending your next vacation in an honest to goodness castle? Well I have and, happily, my dream recently came true in Ireland. For two enchanted weeks I broke the time barrier at Dro-moland Dro-moland Castle, the 16th Century home of Ireland's royal O'Brien family, heirs of ancient kings. If you've never visited the Emerald Isle, you have a real treat waiting for you. The beauty and charm of the fabled countrysidethe country-sidethe Cliffs of Moher, Galway Bay, Limerick, Tralee, Killaloe are within easy sightseeing reach. And Dromoland Castle itself, with 70 tastefully, redecorated guest rooms and baths, is set amidst 1,500 magnificent wooded acres. The storybook castle is up-to-date in every way, including includ-ing a new 18-hole championship golf course. The Dromoland course is set in a park-like landscape with centuries-old trees, a beautiful 18-acre lake and gently rolling topography. Along with Ireland's mild climate which allows play throughout the year and assures a deep succulent turf, the lovely natural setting provides an unforgettable un-forgettable environment for the.i game. I also recommend a visit to near-by (only eight miles from Dromoland) Shannon Interna-tional Interna-tional Airport, a duty-free port, you'll find a boon for gift-buying. Sure 'n begorra, Erin'a a dream come true I |
