The region’s resorts, including an ancient castle retrofitted with luxuriously appointed accommodations, are no less extraordinary. Have a look for yourself -

The Open begins in Hoylake today, but there is no doubt about the most important tournament anywhere this week for the fathers and daughters who came from far and wide to Waterville Golf Links, Co Kerry.
The 15th World Invitational Father and Daughter Golf Tournament comes to an end on Thursday, and Day 1 ended with the great tradition of the annual Father and Daughter tournament sea swim.
The right answer to the question, "Is there anywhere in the world you'd rather be?" is "playing links golf".
To play links golf, then get in the sea on a glorious sunny evening in south-west Ireland, with other fathers and daughters from around the world .. .well, can it really get any better than that?
Whenever anybody asks, "where in the world would you rather be?", the answer is obvious.
"Playing links golf."
Of course.
One of the best weeks of the year takes place in north-west England. The 17th at Royal Liverpool - or Hoylake, as the course is known far and wide - is a brand new hole, and come Sunday, with its slopes, hollows and treachery on all sides of a raised green, this could become an overnight icon in Open history.
Martin Ebert, the architect behind the hole, said, "We want to create some drama at the end of the Open."
Let's see what happens come Sunday.
If the wind starts to blow, the heat will be up to 11 for anyone who stands here with 136 yards and the elements between them and a place in history.
We all know how magical links golf is in Ireland and Scotland.
But there's so much to savour in this stretch of England too, where three Open rota courses - Royal Liverpool, Royal Birkdale and Royal Lytham & St Annes - are all within a short hop on the same coast.
And, it goes without saying, of course, but you *can* always experience all of them with Carr Golf Travel.
And we're underway!
The 15th World Invitational Father & Daughter Golf Tournament begins at Waterville Golf Links, Co Kerry.
Some sweet-sounding drives on the first tee, the hole that's named - ominously? - "Last Easy".
