Clifden may be a small community in southern Ireland but its connections are so strong to Canada that it celebrates Canada Day, as we do, every July 1.
Barberstown Castle was owned until recently by guitarist and singer, Eric Clapton, and now you can rent one of the rooms in the castle section.
Kylemore Abbey, near Dublin, is a riches to rags story of how bad times can happen to good people.
