Off the Beaten Path in Ireland: Take the Wheel at a Rally School in Monaghan

Ask most people for ideas for a day out in Ireland and the answer is the same familiar names over and over. The classics are classics for a reason, but if you want something genuinely different, you need to leave the tourist trail behind.

This is exactly where Rally School Ireland comes in. Based in Scotstown, Co. Monaghan, just a short distance from Northern Ireland, the school has been a place for life-long memories for over 25 years. You take the wheel yourself, supported by experienced staff.
