For a person who hates the cold sea, splashworld is a safe haven.. Ive gone on holiday in tramore…read moreevery summer since i was a young child. Splashworld has 2 big slides for kids one dark and one light that have twists and turns. It has a small slide into the main pool ideal for young kids. There is a toddlers area aswell with slides and such in a child themed way. there is a small lazy river for kids and adults alike. Every 15 or 30 minutes there is a wave machine turned on which can be enjoyed by all but i wouldnt recommend for toddlers. There are lifeguards on duty at all times including the 2 big slides. There is a sauna(steamroom) in the pool area for adults to relax and a viewing area for the non swimmers. And if your staying in the pebblebeach resort you can get a discount for your trip to splashworld. Splashworld is great entertainment for all the family.

They also cater for those who want to actually swim rather than play in the pool, dedicating times for lane swimming both early morning and after work. A swimming club uses the pool regularly also. Upstairs is a fully equipped gym. Great family friendly changing rooms. In addition to one-off usage, various memberships are available, including short-term membership for summer holidays. Thumbs up all round.

A lovely little park was revealed during the last renovation of Tramore House. Its landscaped…read moregrounds are fed by a small stream and several little ponds. It's a favourite of the local school kids at lunchtimes. Also favoured by local dogs: if your mutt is missing, he's likely to be found mucking around in there. Unfortunately, its ponds are from time-to-time home to shopping trolleys. North of the landscaped area is a little wilderness, with a hidden little gazebo and picnic area. Kennedy Part is not a place for sightseeing, but if you fancy some secluded spot, in the middle of the village, this is for you.

Kiltorcan Raceway:…read more Our company booked a group Grand Prix session at Kiltorcan Raceway during September 2019. From start to finish everything and everyone at Kiltorcan Raceway was amazing and accommodating! The booking process was easy, on arrival the staff were extremely welcoming (there's also a seating area with pool table for use when waiting!). The way the race worked and all the rules of the Raceway were clearly explained and as it was a dull and rainy day we were offered protective jumpsuits and gloves to wear. Once we were all kitted out it was straight to the track! The karts were all ready and waiting for us and we were shown how to use them and had the opportunity to adjust the seating to our liking with a staff member. Once the practice laps and race were under way the staff were jotted around the track to be on hand should any karts spin out or hit the tyre walls. Once the race was over we had an award ceremony for the top three drivers as offered by the Raceway and they also accommodated our group bringing our own trophies for a longer award ceremony too! Altogether Kiltorcan Raceway was an absolutely brilliant activity for our staff day out! A really professional outfit with lovely and helpful staff I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who was looking for a group activity in the area!!

FLOOR IT! Brake, release, turn, FLOOR IT!…read more (rinse, lather, repeat) I'm sure you've seen Rally events on TV; you know, those crazy guys driving really fast down narrow roads and sliding through turns kilometer after kilometer? Well, if you ever thought that you would like to try your hand at driving in one of those cars, Rally Connection is the place to go. The had 2 cars out today: Subaru, and a Ford MkII. Both are rear-wheel drive and ready to go with all the trimmings. I was in the Subaru, a favorite of mine, and it was awesome to be able to slide through turns and really learn how to drive fast, and in control. The instructors are very good as well. My instructor, can't remember his name, was very patient with me and had lots of great tips during each turn. They guide you through the whole course and you have the same instructor the whole morning. While I had driven in rally events (mostly very amature) it was good to have someone show me the lines, tell me when to brake, and most importantly; WHEN TO SPEED UP! Will I go back: you bet your ass I will! There's nothing like feeling the rear end start to slide while you maintain control the whole way through. This place is great, and I suggest that everyone should check it out.

Great! nice way to spend a couple of hours…read more It's not a riding school in the traditional sense, it's more a place to go to for treks and walks through the countryside. The horses are lively, and the instruction was earthy and direct. You're likely to be told "wallop him" or "give him a good kick in the ribs, you're just flapping at fresh air". Which is nice as it's rare you're given useful tips or that you're allowed free rein with your horse at a rental. Having said that, the staff do their best to line you up with something suiting your skills, and then trust you to live up to that. Great scenery, and lovely treks along a beautiful lake. The people are also very friendly.

A concrete platform and walkway runs the length of the Southern cliff, with ladders and ramps to allow quick access to the water, without the bane of sandy-feet. In summer the high-diving board is installed, and kids spend their days practising their moves. Backed by lovely shady woods, it has everything (including public loos and changing rooms) necessary for a trip to the seaside.
