    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

    Glenveagh. SO much more to it than just the castle.

    It's not just the aerial shot, it's a cracking place...

    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!

    Recently saw these from a boat trip. Very impressive.

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

    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!!)

    Malin Head is the single most underwhelming place in Ireland.

    Slieve League

    Piss-poor selection all-around, alas.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,920 ✭✭✭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.
