Discover Ireland offers pensioners caravanning discounts

Ireland offers miles of beautiful natural landscape just waiting to be explored

The UK’s older generation of caravan enthusiasts could enjoy a trip to Ireland this summer, with Discover Ireland offering a number of discounts to pensioners.

Those over the age of 66 will benefit from cut price admission and various two-for-one deals on a range of accommodation and attractions as part of the Silver Surfers Summer Saving Scheme.

Running until August, the initiative is designed to attract a greater number of travellers to the nation, which offers miles of beautiful natural landscape just waiting to be explored.

Real Ireland managing director Shaun Rodgers suggested that older visitors will find a lot that appeals to them.

He suggested that a trip to Donegal could be ideal as it offers easy access to Glenveagh – the country’s largest national park.

The attraction boasts 22,000 hectares of natural beauty, as well as numerous walking trails and can be reached by car or by using the regular shuttle buses on offer.

“The relaxed pace of life, especially in the west and north-west of Ireland, will appeal,” Mr Rodgers said.

According to the expert, the best way to explore Ireland is by car – which could be ideal for those planning to take their touring caravan across to the Emerald Isle this summer.
