Push yourself and your opponent on the tennis court. Gallop across the fields in the early morning sunshine. Walk out under the ancient beech trees at dusk or try to jog the three mile woodland route in under 20 minutes. Meet for a delicious lunch, without getting into your car. Enjoy a glass of wine in peace on the terrace without leaving your home. Make up for overindulging with a session at the gym, or treat yourself to a massage at the spa. Rediscover nature with your kids as the seasons turn and change. Let your children enjoy the slide at the pool, while you do your lengths. Smile at your three year old gaining confidence in the adventure playground while you take time to improve your handicap on the championship golf course. All of this and more in the knowledge that Dublin is a mere one and a half hours drive up the road.
