As the weather takes a turn into autumn, it's refreshing to consider a breakaway that isn't completely dictated by the beach. My children take inordinately large amounts of pleasure trying to catch me out in matters of geography. Just because I have no sense of direction, doesn't mean I don't know how a corrie lake is formed, you louts. The death and faith section is particularly fascinating, especially the bit about how young children were put to work in the mills of Tipperary. Make sure to book everything in - your time in the pool, bar, restaurant, breakfast - and then enjoy a wonderful stay in the Ancient East.
