3 Why Ireland? Ireland is widely believed to be one of the most beautiful and charming countries in the world. The majority of Ireland s tourist hotspots are located along the west coast, with treasures such as the Dingle peninsula, Galway Bay and the Cliffs of Moher, all exposed to the majestic Atlantic Ocean. Other areas of interest include the Killarney Lakes, Torc Waterfall, Blarney Castle and of course the capital city of Dublin. Castel Education s headquarters is located in the heart of Co. Kerry and our facility acts as an ideal starting point for those who wish to experience Ireland s most famous and cherished landmarks, as well as the world renowned Irish scenery and landscape. One of the advantages of having such a small country is that all of these exquisite spectacles can be enjoyed in a short period of time, allowing visitors to return home without leaving a single stone unturned.
