On a hot day this is a fantastic dog walk on the Canal du Midi towpath. It's peaceful and ideal for a complete break from motorway driving.
A lovely place to walk with the dog and, although Moore Hall House is no more (it was burned down in the early 1900s) the story behind it is interesting.
With its characteristic 3-storey houses and narrow winding streets, this is a gem of a little village to amble around.
Really lovely spot for a dog walk, and apparently the place where the poet Yeats found the muse for the poem The Fiddler of Dooney.
A small country park and water sports centre situated at the confluence of the Tarn and Garonne rivers.
The force of the water rushing through this flight of nine locks has to be seen to be believed, and it's a brilliant place to de-stress after hours of motorway driving.
Once a lair for marauding pirates this small town is now one of the largest marinas for yachts and pleasure boats in the Med.
Nicely marked easy to follow short trails here. Useful as a walkies stop between Rosslare and Waterford - or just for a walk anyway.
Marked forest trails in a working forest that's welcoming to visitors. Good off-lead romping for dogs.
The mansion in the park was where Charles Parnell was born, there's no museum or anything here now though (the building is used as offices).
Ideal spot for a leisurely picnic on the lough shore - and the dog will be delighted with a woodland walk and then a chance for some swimming.
Peaceful woodland with easy forest tracks to walk on. And if you've an interest in history there's some seriously old stuff to try and find while you're here.
