Where is the most exotic part of Ireland?

Exotic in terms of food, culture and women.. And men of course (from the ladies perspective) I was thinking Waterford. Does any one agree/disagree?

True, I usually find the arsehole of anywhere quite erotic too

First serious answer...


I actually think the Glens of Antrim. You can still see these tombstones to gallowglass (gall óglaigh) soldiers, and Gaelic lords of the Scottish Isles. I had no guide book; I just stopped at everything old that I saw. The historical connection and continuity in the Glens between Irish and Scottish Gaelic worlds is extraordinary still today in 2013. I found it uniquely exotic as I was looking at a gallowglass tomb outside Cushendall of a member of the Mac Dónaill family who died fighting in Cork in the 1640s. I cannot think of anywhere else in Ireland where such an important historical continuity is shown. There are, unlike here in east Leinster, plenty of red squirrels around the forest parks and waterfalls - I never saw a red squirrel until I visited Glenariff forest. The people, now up in the mountainous land, are representative of massive historical dispossession from the fertile lower lands. I even came across a perfectly-preserved 'clochan' up there (we all studied them for LC geography). All the townlands still were marked by signs, in Irish, to distinguish them from each other. Hurling is the sport and the people were so warm and friendly in contrast to my visit to Bushmills and other such places in the lower lands. In the shop in Cushendall they all encouraged me to skip the cue because I had an exotic southern (eastern) accent! I couldn't recommend the place highly enough (except there's a lack of quality accommodation).

Waterford, "the Rome of Ireland" as somebody in the 16th century described it, has a huge history. To me, it's like a bigger version of Kilkenny. Jerpoint abbey in Kilkenny fascinated me, with its exceptionally well preserved medieval Norman tombs, evidence that wine was actually produced in that part of Ireland and much else.

I wouldn't consider anywhere in Ireland different enough from the country in general to be considered exotic as such.
It's not like you go from desert to jungle to mountain

Laughed out loud when I read Waterford. Having lived there for 6 years I can tell you for a fact Jimmy that Waterford is not exotic.

They eat blaas, the women are lacks and for culture they have Tramore. Real exotic alright.

Not saying anywhere else is mind, except for the National Botanic Gardens.

Waterford City itself is no great beauty but the coastline of Waterford County is very beautiful in places .

I would say Cape Clear Island off of South-West Cork. Due to its mild climate it hosts flora not seen on the mainland, and attracts migratory birds that wouldn't visit the mainland either.

Probably one of the runways of Dublin airport when a flight has been diverted from Cuba, Trinidad or somewhere similarly exotic.

Waterford would be pretty low down on the list tbh...

It has to be Garnish Island -Large Italian/Japanese garden on a tiny island off West Cork and it even has its own micro-climate

I don't think Ireland has any where like that in any great numbers, parts of Dublin are more mixed ethnic and food wise, had a really good and different from the norm Chinese in Parnell st the other night.

I was gonna say glengarriff the plants and trees around there are somewhat different around there its all very foreign and exotic looking something to do with the gulf stream i think

West Dingle does it for me. On a dry sunny day there is no nicer place in the world. Plenty of culture there too. Now the women......well I haven't sampled any of them so I wouldn't know. Still two out of three ain't bad.

Exotic would mean it's full of things that aren't native to there, so most likely it's Dublin. You can eat any nationalities food there, lots of non native people, it's got a zoo full of animals from other continents.

Went to Clare Island off the coast of cork a few year ago, it was like summer even thought it was April totally different atmosphere that any where else in Ireland really weird.

The Burren

Dostoevsky

Kells Bay House & Gardens in Kells Bay on the Iveragh Peninsula in Kerry. Stunning!

It's basically an enormous exotic garden on the side of a mountain with walled gardens, waterfalls and rivers going down to the sea 200 metres away. And, as part of the garden, they have carved dinosaurs, crocodiles and so much else out of massive old trees lying around the place. Kids would have a brilliant time there running down paths only to have the life frightened out of them by a big crocodile carved out of a tree facing them. There must be something about the climate down there that the plants can survive.

There's good eating in Muff

Or that it's full of things which are unusual to us; Thailand is exotic to most of us, even though the stuff there is native to Thailand.
