    He's not really a landmark. His visitor centre in Dungloe though... :p

    Donegal will indeed be next and it’s had over 8 nominations so will have prelims. It won’t be on until a little later though! I’ll post a 10 minute warning.

    It was hard to limit it to five. I had to leave out Daniel's visitor centre :o

    I can see the traditional dripping sarcasm and occasional sharp wit that we usually associate with Omackeral's threads starting to emerge again. Great stuff! :)

    Donegal Airport is an interesting shout alright. Regularly votes one of the most scenic landings in the world. It's something different; I think it deserves a spot in the last 32 for that alone.

    OMG I want to vote for them all!!

    (Except maybe the golf club!)

    But Glenveagh has to get my vote..... my happy place, utterly breathtakingly beautiful - and the best lemon drizzle cake in Ireland n the tearooms :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,558 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Five of those are my nominations so I love them all. Have to vote Errigal though, I love it so much. The view to it across the glens is beautiful, the climb is the perfect blend of tricky but doable and the view from the top is genuinely one of the best in the world - over Glenveagh and the lochs, out to the Atlantic past some of the best beaches and islands in the world. It's majestic

    Grianan of Aileach ; a lot of good choices here, but this piques my interest the most

    Just amazing, might be the aerial shot but most impressive for me. They're all great mind.

    Hah, I also nominated 5... wonder were they the same 5?

    That was a fiendishly difficult decision.

    All beautiful but my vote is for ......

    Cruit Island Golf Club
    Not necessarily for the golf course itself, but the absolutely breathtaking scenery all around it.

    Going to go with Glenveagh Castle and National Park, it's look quiet nice and would be an interesting place to visit

    The golf course was me, so only 4/5 ;)

    I didn't nominate Tory, to my shame I've never been

    Fun fact, Slieve League cliffs are three times the height of the tiddly Cliffs of Moher

    But I vote Malin. The whole journey up through Inishowen is stunning, especially Mamore Gap which I also wanted to nominate. Then there's something kind of amazing about knowing you're the furthest north you can be on this island

    Plus Mark Hamill loved the place!

    Slieve League

    Recently saw these from a boat trip. Very impressive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Slieve League ; quite a few worthy contenders here again, but this is the one I'd be most eager to visit

    Slieve League


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,627 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Think Fanad Lighthouse has to shade it over Sliabh Liag here.....

    because lighthouses are awesome, and I've never (yet) actually been to SL (sooooon!!)


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Kaiden Sparse Necktie


    Malin Head is the single most underwhelming place in Ireland.

    Slieve League

    Piss-poor selection all-around, alas.
