    I love visiting places around Ireland. It beats drinking in the pub...

    What about drinking in every pub in every little dip**** village on your way, while overnighting in most of them obviously. I've done that all over the world, mostly on motorbikes. :)

    I've actually been all over Ireland except past Belfast further north. Been up to Donegal to the bottom of West Cork and through the Midlands. I love West Cork, Kerry, Clare, Donegal and I suppose Dublin is pretty cool. Nearly forgot Galway, lived there for long enough, beautiful city.

    I recommend Portrush, Co. Antrim during North-West 200 week. Keep 'er lit, hi! :)

    Sounds fun but I prefer a clear head to go somewhere. I can't drink.

    And especially going all over the world, I wouldn't want to ruin it with drink. I can't handle hangovers.

    Been to every county and city, been to nearly every main town and many years ago (long before motorways) set out and drove as much of the coastine of Ireland as was practical.

    Yeah - we were dirt poor, but the old man was great for trips like that. Dragged me off camping from the age of four, some of my best childhood memories right there.

    Did all 32 counties over 4 weeks on a motorcycle a couple of years ago, even got to the islands.

    It's a beautiful country we have, if you haven't seen a lot of it, get out there & do it, you won't regret it.

    Motorbike is definitely the way to do it, if you have the inclination to ride - much more of a sensation of being in the countryside than passing through it, if that makes sense. Have done most of Asia by motorbike - when I'm settled back in Ireland again, I've promised myself a month or two on the bike around Ireland.

    Sadly, just most of the east coast counties only. I'd love to see more. Sligo, Galway, Kerry, Cork, Limerick etc..

    "Ruining it with drink" was not mentioned, TIU-San. That's entirely up to yourself.

    I havent been to the Aran Islands, Mayo, Sligo and places like Cavan, Westmeath or Leitrim. The only part of the north I have been to is Belfast, I would love to see Donegal and Derry etc. I dont really have any reason to visit a lot of these places and I have never had a wedding invite that spreads to these areas. Im surprised that so many people have seen practically every town and county in Ireland, where do you get the time??

    always find it somewhat amusing when people say galway is a beautiful city

    it has a great buzz about it and has beautiful scenery within a stones throw of it out in connemarra but i really dont think the city is all that spectacular to look at

    Have been in 11 counties, 8 ulster ones and Louth, Meath and Dublin.

    I spend my life in South Antrim, South Derry and East Tyrone, every now and then I would pop over to donegal or go over to Northern England.
    I would like to visit the Scottish Highlands and Islands soon. I am as northie as they come

    That's what I was thinking. Between work and hobbies I don't have much time to explore Éire.

    Have seen most of it. Only counties I haven't been to are Leitrim, Monaghan, Cavan, Offaly, Kerry and Donegal,

    Antrim/Belfast is the only one I've been to north of the border.
