    Something about the place; the color of the water, not over developed and the Whale Sharks nearby.

    Now I am housebound,, so many memories of treasured places here in Ireland... I used to leave the island every 2 weeks and explore and shop. All the ancient monastic places.. Ross Errilly, Riesk.. just so many treasured memories. Always ocean side and now here.

    A little spot on the River Shannon.

    Being on the day session in Dublin city centre, can't bate it.

    Slieve League in Donegal.

    Keem Bay on Achill.

    Coastal trek from Liscannor to Doolin, stopping into O'Connor's after for a feed.

    It's on our doorstep.

    Standing naked on the edge of Dún Aonghasa, screaming at the ocean.

    Scares the other tourists but someone has to keep the watery bastard in check.

    I'd say some spot on the coastal road between Allihies and Eyries on a sunny summer evening.

    For me; going to the back garden here and just standing watching the wide Atlantic in whatever mood is current. serene or fractured.

    I've travelled the world and seen great places, but glendalough is imo the best place I've visited.

    I live about 10km from the coast so I see the ocean regularly but would miss it if I had to live nowhere near it.

    It must be great having it that close Grace.

    Top of Knockeyne in Westmeath looking down over Lough Derravaragh (children of lirs home for 900 years) on a sunny day is another favourite..

    Hook head. I'm lucky enough to live 2 mins drive away and can see it from my house

    Another vote for Hook Head, my Dad was from the area, so had many trips there growing up. I still visit a few times a year.
    Closer to home, I liove The Doneraile in Tramore. No matter how many times I walk it I still get the wow factor at the view of Tramore Bay.
    New York is a great city, love the hustle and bustle but a few days is enough.
    Edinburgh is great for a visit too, love the architecture of the old town.

    Connemara. In good weather it is simply stunning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,653 ✭✭✭✭Plumbthedepths


    It pains me what Italy is going through at the moment but it is my favourite place in the World, particularly the Tuscany region. I was there last August and presently booked to go in May (not optimistic tbh).
    The Italians are an amusing and interesting people.

    The view of the Caldera in Santorini. Absolutely stunning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,197 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    The beach in Villefranche Sur Mer, sun going down, July, anytime, perfect. The sounds from the old town beginning to resonate as the bars and restaurants start to get busy, breaking the tranquil silence but promising a full belly and fun times.

    Japan. Most bits. Especially around Kyoto.

    The 14th, 15th and 16th holes of the O’Meara golf course in Carton House.

    I've been there last summer after a day's hillwalking above the village, "pure heaven" doesn't come near.
