The Best place in Ireland...?

Dub13 · 27-02-2008 5:20pm #1

To counter the worst place in Ireland thread I think we need one on the best place.

Nothing springs to mind now for me but I will come back to this after I have a little think about it.

Galwegians (and foreigners living here) are so dillusional about the place it is unreal. It might be alright but for the weather. I couldnt live there if you paid me.

For me a boiling hot drunken summers day trip out to Bray wandering around the place hammered, nothing like it.

Bettystown

Ballydehob......haven't a clue where it is but with a name like that it has to be good.

Achill Island

There's no place like home

colly10 · 27-02-2008 5:36pm

Castlegregory (sp?) on a summer bank holiday weekend. Anywhere in Kerry really, to me it has a different culture, it's like being abroad

HAPPYGIRL · 27-02-2008 5:37pm

Kerry is the best, followed closely by Clare.

Dashticle · 27-02-2008 5:40pm

Had good craic in Baltimore last year, eyeing up the yachty-totty and so on.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 27-02-2008 5:40pm

Biko is right, this should be in the Galway forum so that they can learn that there are better places to be

Wexford, Our ladys Isle to be exact.

Wann be mental to go out there!

chopperbyrne · 27-02-2008 6:11pm

It's far better than most of the places mentioned in this thread.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 27-02-2008 6:13pm

Yes. And Rio Ferdinant for Mastermind. That's two birds with one stone.

SW81 · 27-02-2008 6:16pm

Ah sure everyone's just going to say where they're from!

Not me, I live in Kildare but I think West Cork and Kerry are by far the best places in Ireland. It's like a different world down there, brilliant. So beautiful.

Vertigo100 · 27-02-2008 6:21pm

Croke Park on all-ireland final day!!!

Newry(yes slow coach, its in Ireland!

)...for the cheap beer when sterling is weak

GrahamThomas · 27-02-2008 9:10pm

Westport, Co. Mayo. It's a great spot!

Rb · 27-02-2008 9:10pm

I really liked Connemara last time I was there, same with the Northern coast of Donegal.

Best place in terms of what though?

Scenery/relaxation? If so, I'd go with the above.

Things to do? (This goes to Dublin)
Best place to go if you want a migrane? (Cork)
Best place to go if you're looking for a fix? (inner city North Dublin)

You would be hugely disappointed if you actually visited it.

No, it's not. It's in the UK. Stay on topic.

The answer to this thread is in the thread title. :rolleyes:

Of course it is. It stands for, "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

Next...

What I meant was with the new rules requiring a passport to travel between the North and the 'UK mainland' it may as well not be.

Terry · 27-02-2008 11:41pm

Best place I've been as an adult has been Listowel.
Fermoy would be a close second, although Rathcormack down the road was a complete hole.

Jimbo · 27-02-2008 11:47pm

I think there are alot of places around the West Cork/Kerry area that are really nice

Supercell · 27-02-2008 11:53pm

Ballyhack in Wexford, beauty of the place takes your breath away on a summers day.

guinnessdrinker · 27-02-2008 11:59pm

Bushmills!

zootroid · 28-02-2008 12:09am

Parts of Kerry (although Tralee is a kip), Galway, actually the west in general is quite nice (except Limerick). And Kilkenny of course!

Buzz Buzz · 28-02-2008 1:22am

Galway of course!

IanCurtis · 28-02-2008 1:35am

Yeah I'd say Galway too....tis a pretty funky place.

(Worst is Dundrum - Jesus, talk about crammed....oh another thread for this!)

cson · 28-02-2008 1:48am

Portumna ftw.

2 stroke · 28-02-2008 2:09am

Best place in Ireland? It's got to be under an Irish woman.

Mushy · 28-02-2008 2:11am

Has to be my bed! Always a great place.

Honestly, I'd say Valentia Island, just of Kerry. Such a great place, love going there.
