Many couples want to travel together, but have different sporting and leisure interests - this is notably common when it comes to horse riding females, and their non horsey husbands and partners! However, Ireland’s Castle Leslie Estate has solved the dilemma with several packages designed to offer couples different activities during their stay.
The latest package is the three night ‘Anglers’ and Horse Riders’ Paradise’ trip.
For the riding partner, this trip includes five hours of horse riding spread over two days. Guests can choose the type of lessons they want, based on their individual needs, from practise on the centre’s mechanical horse, to lunge lessons, flatwork, hacking and jumping.
Fishing enthusiasts will enjoy angling in one of Ireland's best-preserved lakes. The beautiful "Glaslough" or Green Lake is synonymous with monster pike; in 1991, a specimen weighing 38lb 9oz (17.5kg) was caught in the lake, and broke the 18-year official Irish record. Estate records show impressive catches year on year of 18 - 30lbs fish. Many guests advise that they have caught their "largest ever fish" in Glaslough Lake, and return regularly. The trip includes two full days’ angling.
The rest of guests’ time can be spent roaming the extensive Estate, hiking through the woodland or enjoying County Monaghan’s many highlights. The Anglers’ and Horse Riders’ Paradise’ trip includes three nights’ accommodation, a two course dinner in Conor's Bar each evening, and a hearty full Irish breakfast each morning. Priced at £395 per person sharing.
