Food and drink
Eat Irish Stew (lamb and vegetable stew traditionally served with soda bread); Champ (famous potato dish); and indulge yourself with an Irish Breakfast before leaving.
Irish beer is a must: try the local ales starting with Guinness, a world-class superstar.
Accommodation
Youth hostels can be found in even the most ‘off the beaten track’ locations.
The Local Hostel Association is the YHA and you can book a room at: www.anoige.ie or www.hini.org.uk in Northern Ireland.
Hotels and Bed & Breakfasts are everywhere (especially in seaside towns). You can expect the rooms in B&Bs to be of a very high standard.
Camping: www.camping-ireland.ie (Note: there are not many campsites in Ireland and free camping (although forbidden) is tolerated in remote areas).
