Where's the most romantic place in Ireland?

faceman · 13-02-2009 2:02pm #1

Around this time of year, couples talk about romantic breaks to Paris or Venice or some other mad foreign place like that. But it got me thinking about Ireland.

I wouldnt consider a meal in Tip Tops in tallaght village followed by a night on the town in CoCo's the height of romance but Im sure there are romantic spots or tales about Ireland? try avoid the posh hotel tales. Any romantic spots or locations that would knock the pants of the streets of Paris?

Oh and before anyone says it, yeah I know me ma's is the most romantic place, but other than that!

I love walking the coast road to be honest, find it uplifting and pretty, especially after a meal in Casa Pasta or Kinara.

Failing that the Donaghmede Inn:eek:

I can't believe how much you failed with that post. There's so many things wrong with it.

Saint_Mel · 13-02-2009 2:48pm

Hotel Vagina ... it's quite small though, you have to leave your bag outside!

MonicaBing · 14-02-2009 1:24pm

For some bizarre reason, Galway city always does it for me..;)

The Liffey at the Strawberry Beds on a sunny summer morning.

Wurly · 14-02-2009 1:48pm

Inside my head....:)

I wish I wasn't sickeningly romantic... I kinda am though. Can't help it.:o:rolleyes:

I'd go for Leenane in Co Galway. It's the most stunningly beautiful place i've ever seen in Ireland..

Riamfada · 14-02-2009 1:50pm

Doolin, Co Clare on a stormy November weekend

The best place to take her is up The Gicker.

Watching the sunset sitting outside Bushe's Bar in Baltimore, West Cork.

Barley Lake between Glengariff and Kenmare, bit of a mission to get up there but so so worth it!

Plastic Bari · 14-02-2009 2:01pm

I would have to say most of County Donegal, most of County Galway, including the city and the Claddagh area, and - after watching Franc's engagement programme lastnight (can't remember the name of it but it's something obvious!) - The Giant's Causeway.

I love Wicklow, especially around Glendalough. It's gorgeous.

Kiera · 14-02-2009 5:10pm

Howth has a very special place in my heart so i'd say either the summit or dear park looking over the whole of dublin.

Seillejet · 14-02-2009 5:11pm

There is aplace called lovers leap in Enniskerry. Above the Powerscourt Waterfall. i think it is named so due to the deflowering that goes on up there, but someone might correct me.

In Dublin I would plump for the Royal Hospital. A nice spot and shoes your intellect side.

1) Watching the sunset on Galway Bay:

2) Conemarra

Ideally while in the sleeping bay of a trench, spooning one of the lads for warmth while praying that nobody calls "Stand too!".

There are loads of great spots.

In sunny weather

+1 Keel Beach in Achill.

Inchydoney Beach - Clonakilty.

West Cork coastline drive on a lazy summer day ... Kinsale, Skull, Glandor all fabulous places.

Poulnabrone Dolmen in the Burren (again depends on weather ... especially in the summer with the skylarks singing).

thusspakeblixa · 15-02-2009 7:25pm

Any of the Loughs in Sligo.
Lovely altogether.
