Best scenery in Ireland

Young_Werther

Hi,

I've been to Ireland twice and visited Dublin, Cork, Galway, Armagh, Belfast, and the Giant's Causeway/rural Antrim.

I would like to return but I am wondering where I should go, particularly for scenery.

I was thinking of: Ring of Kerry/Killarney, Wicklow Mountains, Donegal, Tyrone and somewhere by the sea in Connacht.

Could I get some advice.

Thanks.

most places on the west coast have great scenery. its really hard to pinpoint the best, beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that

for me outside the places you mentioned, achill island just off mayo is lovely, atlantic drive, keem bay, irelands tallest sea-cliffs Croaghaun http://www.achilltourism.com/

inishowen peninsula in north donegal has some awe inspiring scenery too, mamore gap, malin head http://www.visitinishowen.com/

never been to donegal but am dying to go there, but of all the places i have been to, one of my favorites would have to be the burren. it's just so different to anything i have ever seen and found it a magical place.

I am biased....

Kerry !

Killarney its self isn't a really pretty town , Kenmere is prettier to be honest. However it's a good place for a base.

However get down to Ross Castle early in the day , ie before 9am when it's quiet, walk down past the copper mines to governers rock ....... my favourite spot.

Walk over the Gap of Dunloe ( great if you don't mind the horrible smell of horse manure which does go away once you get near the top.

The Dingle Peninsular , Dingle it'self is lovely.

The Ring is lovely but can be mad busy , I haven't driven it for about 8 years to be honest.

I always like Sneem , it has a great collection of scupltures that were given to the town from different countries , most people miss them because they aren't looking ..... go into the chuchyard .

Enjoy Ireland !

Just back from Doolin Co.Clare, had a great weekend, and have to say it is defo my favourite place in the whole country,knocks the socks off everywhere else in my opinion.

You'll need a car. I stayed in Hotel Doolin, newly opened, really nice hotel, 2 nights B&B 1 Dinner was 258 for 2 people. The food was excellent in the hotel, and in the pubs. I'd recommend Doolin above anywhere else in the country.
