Beyond the Best of Ireland with Pat O’Connor
Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on October 19, 2026.
Ireland — an ever-popular destination — tempts travelers with legendary castles, charming towns, music-filled pubs, and seaside getaways. But undiscovered corners persist, and guidebook author Pat O'Connor whisks us away on a whirlwind tour of Ireland's hidden highlights. We sail to Great Blasket Island to get acquainted with one of Ireland's most traditional communities, hike an Edwardian-era trail carved into ocean cliffs, and opt for the scenic route on the winding Wild Atlantic Way. Plus, Pat teaches wannabe royals how to stay in an Irish castle without breaking the bank!
