Home for the night – Derry

Leaving Derry we make our way to Enniskillen – a pretty island town on Lough Erne infamous from the troubled 80s. Then we head for the hills – to the ancient Passage Grave at Lough Crew – older than the pyramids of Giza! We finish with a guided tour of Trim Castle – a twelfth century Anglo Norman fortress which some would say was where the Troubles all began! Back then to Dublin – The Fair City.
