WELCOME to the March issue of escape.... and the chance to win a fantastic break to the lively city of Dublin, see below for details.

What else can we offer you this month? Continuing the Irish theme, we have visited Cork, this year's European Capital of Culture, to get a flavour of this 'city built on water' and a preview of some of the myriad events going on there throughout the year.

With Easter holidays just around the corner and still time left to get in some ski-ing we take a trip the French Alps and the resort of Les Gets.

For those who would rather give the slopes a miss, see page four for a whole list of holiday ideas for this Easter break, ranging from family friendly breaks on a budget to the most expensive luxury breaks.

St Lucia is well known for being a romantic destination for weddings and honeymoons, but we find out there is much more to this island than meets the eye. Enjoy...
