Nice places to visit in Ireland?

CyberGhost

Hey,

So, I've been living in Ireland for a long time now, but I really haven't seen much of it.

Mainly it was because I'm a terrible navigator and I can't read a map to save my life and whenever I got lost, I'd get pissed, road raged, threw tantrums, tried to read a map, got even more pissed, ripped up the map, filled up the gas tank and drove around until I finally somehow found my home. So in the end, I'd be pissed and didn't want to go again.


But now, I bought a GPS........And God/Budda/Allah/Science bless the people who invented the GPS, man, what a relief, I don't know why the F I didn't buy it before... well actually I know, I wasn't sure about it, until I saw one in my friend's car.

So anyways, I don't get pissed anymore and I'd like to see some nice places around Dublin and whole Ireland even.

I was to Enniskerry recently, visited the Powerscourt House & Garden, it was great... I'd like to see more nice places.

Can you suggest any?

Stayed in a nice place last year called Gorey, County Wexford.. nice little town, beach, big hills with great views.

And, more importantly, an internet cafe that did the nicest scones

Connemara is fecking lovely.

It really depends on what you're into though..

Sea Sharp

In terms of nature walks etc..
Glendalough
Donegal has a few nice places.
oh and don't forget Tallagh.

Micilin Muc

Just about anywhere on the North, West or South coasts. Don't like the midlands, except for Tipperary!

Galway is a cool city.
Wicklow is pretty, you could go to Glendelough.
Clair is a nice place too, there's the Burren and the Cliffs of Mohr. Also the surf town of Lahinch is located there, if you're into surfing.
Donegal is pretty too and excellent for surfing.

Or Temple bar... who's ever heard of a Mexican Restuarant in Dublin run by a Polish family? just seemed odd...

Lisdoonvarna and around the Burren in Co. Clare is gorgeous. ''The Roadside Tavern'' in Lisdoon is an excellent pub. Be sure to try the 'Declan Hunter' toasted sandwich!

Reoil

Achill Island, Antrim Coast, Cork and Kerry. Start there and ask us again in 10 years...

Go for a hike in the hills East of there and the Ailwee caves - view of the bay from up there is unbelievable. Took some photos once upon a time but they do it no justice.

And its called the "red line" for a reason.

Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry. A place to get lost in if you get out and about. Don't go (to Dingle town especially) on a bank holiday in the summer if you can avoid it. Other than that a super place.

Newgrange in the boyne valley in meath is worth a trip.

xcrieve

Wicklow, Aran Islands & Connemara to Leenane

CianRyan

My gaff's great, stall it. :pac:




Really though, just get a few mates and drive around the west coast for a while, good buzz.

good choice, you missed donegal though, loads of stuff to see there

the road between portrush and ballycastle in north antrim has great beaches, an ancient castle on a cliff, a rope bridge high above the sea, the oldest whiskey distillery in the world and something called the giants causeway which nobody has ever heard of.....

connemara is really nice, irelands only fjord in Leenane is worth the drive, careful the flies don't eat you alive in summer though

there is a ton of things to see and do in this country if you look, something as simple as a cruise on the river shannon while spending saturday night soaking up carrick on shannon rather good and free nightlife to doing the entire ring of kerry during rose of tralee week, nobody is that insane though :P
