IrelandIreland has a beauty which is intertwined with history, rich culture and the renowned friendliness of its people.   The wild craggy mountains, splendid lakes and sweeping coastline make it an ideal playground for water sport enthusiasts, walkers, cyclists, hikers, rock climbers and sailors. The famous Giant's Causeway is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, tightly packed basalt columns that run from the cliffs of the Antrim Plateau to the sea.It is thought the Giant's Causeway was created by volcanic eruptions and cooling lava but ancient legend believes it was the work of the giant Finn MacCool and legend says it was a pathway to Scotland where the giant lived.


The Ring of Kerry and the lakes of Killarney will offer you mountain landscapes,spectacular coastal scenery and ancient monuments.It is a breathtaking area where castles and historic houses are in abundance.The Cliffs of Moher are another spectacular coastal area where the cliffs fall away to the Atlantic.Dublin is a firm favourite with visitors it is an easy city to walk round or use one of the many bus tours.

Food and drink in Ireland go hand in hand with this countries unparalled hospitality .A full Irish breakfast generally consists of eggs,rashers (bacon),bangers(sausages),tomatoes,mushrooms,black pudding and bread or toast.In Northern Ireland a cooked breakfast is called an Ultster Fry and generally has the addition of fried potatoe farl (potatoe cakes).There is an abundance of seafood and fish on offer as well as classic dishes like Irish lamb stew.

Guinness is the drink of choice in Ireland and it would be a shame to leave without trying the dark velvety brew.Other noteworthy malt beverages include Smithwicks, Kilkenny, Murphy's and Beamish. There are lots of things to keep those after a dose of culture enthralled from oyster festivals to authentic horse fairs, and from ancient castles to elegant country houses, Ireland is packed with things to do and see.

Historic Ireland
Take a step back through time and discover historic Ireland - we've got amazing buildings and monuments just waiting to be explored as you learn more about Ireland's past and how it still influences the present.

Our castles and historic houses, heritage attractions and museums are the perfect places to visit for a family day out or a weekend break with friends.
Must-see historic highlights
Sights not to be missed include Newgrange (Bru na Boinne). Built around 3200BC, the UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the oldest astronomically aligned monuments in the world and puts on quite a show during the winter solstice.

Other must sees include the Ceide Fields, Dun Aengus, a prehistoric ring fort on Inis Mór in the Aran Islands, and the Hill of Tara – one of the Boyne Valley’s many treasures.

You’ll see historical evidence all around you – castles from Norman invasions, such as Kilkenny Castle; megalithic dolmens and tombs; Viking city walls at Waterford City, and history commemorated across Ireland's monuments and museums.

Porters Lake

We first met on the North River in Cape Breton many years ago; so it was appropriate for our first date to be a “fishing” one. Both of us are avid outdoor enthusiasts who really enjoy the great outdoors! After managing the Atlantic Outdoor Sports & RV Show for many years, Darrelyn decided she was ready for a change, so the “Wooden Bear Lodge B&B” was born.

We invite you to come to our home and share with us the wonderful experience of life in Porters Lake. Our lakeside home is nestled into the hillside. Take a stroll through the many gardens and down the path to our “Boathouse” that sits on the water’s edge. The view from both the house and dock is spectacular!

If you are lucky you may get a chance to watch a bald eagle soar overhead. There are several resident bald eagles that patrol the lake daily. Ospreys, loons, ducks, geese, wood peckers and herons are also very common to see. There is an abundance of wildlife!
