Positano, Italy, for Weddings
(Weddings in Positano)
Positano, widely acknowleged as the jewel in the crown of Italy's stunning Amalfi Coast, is the destination of choice for couples seeking a fairytale setting for their wedding.
Warrenpoint Docks - Port of Warrenpoint
Warrenpoint, County Down
Warrenpoint seafront overlooking spectacular Carlingford Lough. On a sunny day, or any other day, the view from this shoreline is unsurpassable.
Clough Mór, Rostrevor, County Down
Clough Mór ('The Big Stone'), RostrevorClough Mór, a 30-ton granite boulder, lying on the upper slopes of Slieve Martin is a remnant of the Ice Age. It is associated in story with the legendary Irish shotputter and causeway builder Finn MacCool.
"I am an Ulsterman, a Connachtman, a Greek," said Finn.
"I am Cuchulainn, I am Patrick.
I am Carbery-Cathead, I am Goll.
I am my own father and my son.
I am every hero from the crack of time."

The Fairy Glen, Rostrevor, County Down
The Fairy Glen in Rostrevor is situtated beside the pedestrian entrance to Kilbroney Park.
Celebrated in folk song and in fable, the atmospheric Fairy Glen is certainly worth a visit.
"Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."
'The Stolen Child'
William Butler Yeats
Via S. Cesareo, Sorrento
Via San Cesareo in Sorrento is a street vibrant with the fiery colours of exotic fruits and alive with the evocative aromas of lemons and new leather.
Via S. Cesareo is certainly not in Ireland but Sorrento, Positano and other such locations along the spectacular Amalfi Coast have so impressed us on our travels that we make no apology for including them on this website.
The Amalfi Coast - when Ireland dreams of Italy.
