-Belleek, Donegal & the Marble Arch Caves
|
|
|
| Nestling on the banks of Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Belleek is a picturesque
village renowned throughout the world for its fine porcelain china. The most
westerly village in Northern Ireland, Belleek is bordered by lush County Donegal in
the Republic, another fascinating feature of this riveting new Glenton tour for 2010.
But the highlight of the holiday must be our visit to the unique Marble Arch Caves
Global Geopark where we glide by boat through a natural underworld of rivers,
waterfalls, winding passages and lofty chambers. An unforgettable experience! |
