The summer of 2020 will be recorded in the annals of history as one of enormous social upheaval. Nearly every one of us has been affected in one way or another. And now at the tail-end of summer, with the repercussions of the global pandemic still making waves, we are forced to accept failed vacations and plan alternative staycations before autumn comes around. But do not despair for there are so many beautiful cities, towns and villages on this island that you can discover and explore!
Over the years, Currach Books has released some wonderful pictorial books that have captured the beauty of Ireland in all it’s glory. If you need some inspiration for your upcoming staycation, read on!
