Ultimate All-Ireland Landmark Tournament

Kolido

Although Lough Eske is down the road from where I grew up, I will have to vote slieve league, just stunning

The J Stands for Jay

Doagh famine village. The lad doing the tours is a character, and it's my only chance of seeing the inside of an orange hall. Also have to say, Fanad lighthouse is overrated, don't see the appeal at all.

Malin Head is the single most underwhelming place in Ireland.

Donegal play-off to come followed by Co. Down

Slieve League

Slieve League

Just because of its sheer natural beauty.

ChannelNo5

This one is really difficult. Im going to go for
Grianan of Aileach

Grianan of Aileach

Our ancestors spilled their blood, sweat and tears erecting that beaut.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Grianan of Aileach ; hard not to be awestruck simply looking at a picture of that. Definitely somewhere I want to go see in person.

Electric Nitwit

Grianan of Aileach for me please

Like Newgrange, only much better.
Amazing to think how it was made up there, cracking views too

I like the cliffs and all, but they're not that different to a lot of Donegal scenery

Kolido

Slieve League for me, one of the most stunning places Ive been, not just in Ireland but the world.

The view from atop looking down to the blue waters, wow

Grianan an Aileach - just because I've been there and actually seen it

You know it's true. Newgrange is mostly new built, how they imagined it would be, and full of tourists. The Grianan is so much nicer

Electric Nitwit

So went seen all the Donegal nominations?
Disappointed no one went for https://www.muffdivingclub.ie/ :pac:

Necro

Grianan of Aileach

Yep, just much more impressive overall for me.

Grianan was rebuilt a few times too. Great place for a visit, but very windy spot!

Grianan of Aileach advances and will represent Donegal

Before nominating I assumed Slieve League would walk it for Donegal

Omackeral

Mount Stewart



Dundrum Castle



Grey Point Fort



Scrabo Tower

Necro

I like them all (nominated three).

Gonna go with Dundrum Castle though, something ominous about it.

ChannelNo5

Now I can vote for Scrabo Tower

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Scrabo Tower ; towers are sweet

Electric Nitwit

Scrabo for me - I'm a sucker for towers, love climbing them and having great views

JohnGreenFan

I like the look of Scrabo tower. So I'll vote for that.

But as landmarks go... I've never heard or seen photos of any of these. Nor would I have had any clue where they were!

Purgative

Mount Stewart - have a bit of a thing for those old formal gardens

Scrabo Tower.

Sawduck

Good selections here but i'm going with Scrabo Tower, i have never heard of of it before but it looks amazing

Kolido

I will vote for Dundrum Castle, sounds to have had an impressive history.

I'm guessing that many haven't actually visited it, photos never do it justice, amazing place.

Omackeral

I'm gonna blow it up early, Scrabo won't be caught here.

PsychoPete

I vote for the big cannon thing, also are you allowed shoot it?

Omackeral

Scrabo Tower advances and will represent Down

mehico

Got to go for Dundrum Castle this time.

Omackeral

That is gonna conclude the action for this evening. As it stands, we have 9 of our county contenders entered into the All-Ireland stage. Tomorrow we will begin with a big hitter in the form of County Dublin. Major thanks to everyone who has participated and followed along, hope to see you back tomorrow!

I think that's all of my nominations through so far.

HeidiHeidi

What sorta time tomorrow for kick-off??


I'd hate to miss it - this is compulsive stuff!!
