Did you know that sourdough was historically baked in Ireland before bread soda arrived in the 1800s and made us famous for soda bread! We didn’t, until we met Chris Brownlow- The Gentlemen Baker and former Potato Farmer for Ireland’s much-loved Tayto crisps (we LOVE that detail!).💚

At his home in the Boyne Valley in beautiful County Meath, Chris delivers fun-filled and thought-provoking sourdough bread making experiences that are delicious and good for your health. Who knew?! ✨

Remember during the pandemic when there was a sourdough craze and it all seemed so complicated with keeping starters on the go – well Chris has a much simpler approach to all of that. Phew – the pressure is off and the whole whoweareireland team are now committed to weekly sourdough bakes.🍞

A great experience for adults and families – to book, check out .with.benefits

🎃 Did you know that Halloween was invented in Ireland? 🎃
The roots of Halloween can be traced back 2,000 years to the Celtic Samhain festival, which is celebrated at the end of Summer.

Halloween is now celebrated all over the world, but its origin lies in the pagan Celtic festival of ‘Samhain’, around 100 A.D. 🎃

That explains why Ireland's Halloween festivals and events are the best! Check out stories to see highlights from around Ireland 💚

Who We Are Ireland had the pleasure of catching up with Brian who runs Corralea centre activities and experiences and Marius & Isabelle who look after the cottages on site.🚣‍♀️🚴‍♀️🧘‍♀️

We always love to see responsible tourism and Corralea Centre really has sustainability at their heart with eco activities set in the middle of a 16 acre forest on the shores of Macnean.🤩🌿💚

Brian and his team pride themselves in having eco-friendly activities as he told us 'even the hot tubs and sauna are wood fired with wood from our own forest.'🌳🌳

Brian loves the outdoors and loves to see visitors truly connecting with nature around them. He keeps groups visiting small and intimate to safeguard the quality and peacefulness of the environment.🌳🌿💚🧘‍♀️

Who We Are Ireland Tip - check out Correlea unique experiences where you can have a eco spa in the forest, enjoy the hot tub before relaxing on a hammock on the edge of the lake, with spectacular views over Lough Macnean and Thur Mountain -pure bliss!! We highly recommend you turn off your mobile and truly immerse yourself in nature!🌿💚🌿

🌟Who We Are Ireland caught up with Benners Hotel Tralee Operations Manager Orlagh Winters🌟

Benners Hotel is only steps away from Tralee's famous Town Park with 44 guestrooms, innovative dining including private booths indoors, and outdoors. 😎

Orlagh highly recommends that you enjoy a tasty meal in Benners - the woodfire pizza made with di**le gin is a huge hit with locals and visitors.🍕💚👌

When Orlagh is off duty, she loves to spend time at Banna Beach with miles of golden sand. It's also excellent for swimming and surfing - one of Kerry’s top blue flag beaches 🏖🏄‍♂️🌊

Orlagh highly recommends a visit to Kerry County Museum with its amazing history of Tralee and surrounding areas - suitable for all ages to enjoy.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Stay tuned to WhoweareIreland, and we will bring you more details on Kerry County Museum

We absolutely love legends and stories here at Who We Are Ireland, so we were delighted to catch up with the legend himself Paddy Byrne from Sliabh Liag Boat Trips 🚤💚
A boat trip with Paddy or one of his skippers is the absolute best way to view the highest seacliiffs in Europe. You can get close to the cliffs and go for a dip in the crystal-clear water whilst hearing stories from this iconic area that is steeped in history. 🌊

Paddy's Tips when visiting Donegal ⏳️❓️😎

⏳️Give yourself plenty of time to experience as many attractions and activities as you can, but don't come to tick a box. Really, take your time to enjoy your experience

❓️When you get here, ask questions. You can use Google, but you will find out far more from the local people who will update you on everything that is happening in the area

😎I'm a bit biased with what to do in Donegal, but I will say, "Come to Sliabh Liag and see the wild landscapes climb to the top of the Cliffs as well as enjoying our Sliagh Liag boat trip.
Always remember, we are on the north Atlantic, and it's not always like a postcard. The weather is always changing, it rains, the wind blows, and the sun shines.
If you come here on a bad day, make the best of it because it's nature at its best and can be a photographers paradise.
