There’s a lot to be said for rounding up your squad, loading up the cool box with some sandwiches and hitting the open road. Forget the hassle of passports and boarding passes, all you need is a map and some wheels...
Here are our favourite Staycation ideas, perfect for both Summer and Winter breaks:
There are some amazing glamping venues out there especially if you head on over to Fermanagh.Spend the night amongst the trees in a luxury bubble at FinnLough Bubble Domes, or bed down in a Lakeside Glamping Pod in Rossharbour.
It’s pretty much glamorous camping with WiFi, a games- room, and a hot tub thrown in. Yes please!
Todds Leap in Ballygawley is an action packed destination for both friends and family. There is no chill to be found here with tons of adrenalin pumping activities to get stuck into.Test your nerves on the ‘White Knuckle Run’ off-road driving track, accelerate over a cliff edge on the giant swing, and take revenge on your squad on the paint balling combat sites.
After, you can head out for even MORE adventure with zip-lining, body zorbing, drop zone, and a climbing wall. At the end of a long day, crash in a snooze box – a re-purposed shipping container that sleeps five. Yes, you did read shipping container..
