We have a draw! Now it's time for the tie-breaker as we go to the reasons provided.

Duckett's Grove.

Far more unique. There's a million and one Huntington Castles around the island.

Perfectly good reasoning. 1-0 to Duckett's

Hmmmm.

Gonna go for Huntington Castle here. Think it's just a little bit more impressive than Ducketts Grove.

Perfectably acceptable. 1-1

I think Duckett's, for the folly of that tower.
Also, a ruin is cooler than somewhere that's clearly just a wedding venue

Excellent reason. 2-1 to Duckett's Grove.

Duckett's Grove will represent Carlow

Cloughoughter Castle



Erica's Fairy Forest



Cavan Cathedral



Dún na Rí Forest Park



Cavan County Museum World War 1 Trenches

Why are there WWI trenches in Cavan?

I like that! It gets my vote. Though the lake castle is cool and I reckon it'll get through.

This one. Seriously unique. Though the fairy forest is awesome too

Irish Aris

I will also vote for Cloughoughter Castle.
Though the castle itself isn't spectacular, the whole setting is!

Cloughoughter Castle.

One of the finest sights in Ireland. Home to a vast variety of wildlife including 3% of Europe's common swans.

Trenches are definitely cool though, never knew they were there.

Cavan County Museum World War 1 Trenches

Great part of history to have.

Carlow Castle and Cavan Castle

Cavan County Museum World War 1 Trenches ; while usually I'd sooner do just about anything else than even step foot in Cavan, because Cavan is the absolute worst, I must concede that this is pretty cool

Electric Nitwit

It's hard to argue with an aerial shot of a ruined castle on an island in a lake, isn't it?

Cloughoughter Castle

Cloughoughter Castle - wow that's so different to anything else. The WW1 museum and the trenches has definitely nudged my interest to get off my ass and see some sights.

Agreed. That's what I'm hoping to get from this thread. The legendary crisps one made me try Chickatees (they're ****e!) and now I get to try out a WWI trench. Good stuff omack!

The great thing about Cavan attractions is they'll either be free or deserted

The County Museum has a number of thematic areas to it... The outside has the trenches, but also a gpo building that you can walk through, there's a section on famous women... It's good. You've to walk around yourself, it's not very bling or flashy, but if you slow it right down and relax then it's an afternoon out.

Cloughoughter Castle will represent Cavan

I'll go for the trenches, makes me think of acall of duty

Edit: Booooooooo

Father Ted House



The Burren



Bunratty Castle



Cliffs of Moher



Aillwee Caves

The Burren

cdeb

Bunratty Castle is great - the mediaeval banquets in particular, though I've not been there - and the Ailwee Caves are very dark indeed (just like being blind I believe)

But I like scenery, so the Cliffs of Moher have to get my vote

Loughc

Cliffs of Moher - Beautiful scenery

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Damn Clare is stacked, some solid places to choose from.

Tenpted to go for the Craggy Island Parochial House from Father Ted, but it probably doesn't deserve it given the competition its up against.

Aillwee Caves is my pick, because always thought caves were really really cool when I was a kid.

Electric Nitwit

Father Ted's house :pac:

Sawduck

Cliffs of Moher
They look amazing, i will visit here someday, maybe

Necro

Craggy Island Parochial House for me.

A national treasure at this point.

Though tbh, any of the entries here would be fine representatives for Clare.

*They all have lovely bottoms.

Aillwee Caves
Cos I like caves

cdeb

There's the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher

But where's the Tulla, and Kilfenora?
