unwind in the countryside
After all that shopping, why not lie back for a relaxing full body massage back at The Clarence? The perfect way to unwind your muscles after all that excitement. For a day in that famous Irish countryside, we suggest heading to Malahide Castle in County Dublin. Set in an expansive park by a classic Irish cobblestone town on the sea, this is one of the oldest castles in Ireland. Spend a day breathing in the salty air, enjoy a drink in the castle’s tea room, and wander down the lanes where you’re sure to be greeted with a smile by all the locals.
