    Downpatrick Head Sea Stack, looks so awesome and is one of my favourite places in Ireland

    Newgrange, its a legendary landmark that is known all over the world

    Match 1: Dún Briste sea stack - a good run from the horseshoe and it might have been a different vote had Ben Bulben made it through for Sligo.

    Match 2: Coumshingaun - an easy choice from these two for me.

    Those two have felt like the top picks for me from a good bit out, if only one makes the final that's the one I'll be voting for. No idea at this stage what I'll do if they both make it through.

    Match 1- Gleniff Horseshoe Valley
    The whole area is beautiful, and there is so much more including a cave and the views!


    Match 2- Newgrange
    Because of its age, and the way the sun shines into the passage. Amazing

    Downpatrick Head Sea Stack, big fan, its the number one place I bring visitors to in Mayo. I always think its a shame there isn't a busier town close by, I think between it and the Ceide Fields Ballycastle is one of the most impressive villages in Ireland. If anybody ever wants a romantic weekend away you could do much worse than to check out Stella Maris, just take a look at pics on the home page and you'll be convinced


    Newgrange - I didn't vote for it in the last round but I think its more impressive than Coumshingaun. Plus I'd like to see a final of the built environment versus the natural one

    Gleniff Horseshoe Valley
    Just looks stunning, and so much more to it. I've seen the sea attack, and I like it, but don't share the love others do
    Waterford
    Coumshingaun Lough
    Just looks stunning, and so much more to it. I've seen Newgrange, and don't share the love others do. In fact I was pretty disappointed by it

    The Valley and Newgrange for me.

    The Lough is beautiful but Newgrange is special to me. The valley wins because there is nothing special about a rock sticking out of the sea the coast is full of them

    I vote for Sligo and Waterford. They are both so crap at Gaelic football they deserve to make it to this final.

    C’mon stragglers! 2 more votes for the horseshoe to make it a tie.

    Did I mention it’s also a magic road where your car from stationary rolls UP the hill rather than down?

    Downpatrick Head Sea Stack

    It's just pure class - every time I see it on this thread I'm more excited for my next journey up that side of the country to go see it!!

    Coumshingaun Lough - have to support the home county and I genuinely think it's one of the nicest places in Ireland.

    There's one of those roads in Waterford too - not far from the Lough actually!

    The original magic road is on craggy island.

    Just arrived, sorry. I'd go Gleniff for the tie-breaker. It's grown on me an awful lot.
