Seriously though, Vancouver (If you've been, you'll know why) or St. James Park when the Gallowgate is rocking.

Yep a few pints in Shearer's Bar on a sunny Saturday matchday before jogging in from Strawberry Place to cheer on the Toon, conscious of the fact you'll be heading out later that night on the 'castle nightlife for debauchery in the company of your best maytes (and possibly Tall Paul)

Morraine Lake in the Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada.

Most beautiful place I've ever been to.

That looks absolutely stunning.

The most beautiful place I have been in Ireland is Lenane in the West of Ireland. Between Galway and Mayo IIRC. It's like the mountains are falling into the lake and it completely surrounds you. It's breathtaking.

Also, I think Glendalough is fabulous too.

I love my bed though - gotta say.:D

doh daht dainigs u caught me out Quazzie...but dont knock the 'castle experience, not least the footy

It wasn't me! · 22-09-2008 12:43AM

Every time I drive over the Wicklow Gap from Blessington, when I crest that hill and see the huge sweeping valley bowl under me, I curse every damn hiker that's spoiling the pristine solitude that place embodies. I'd work as a ranger solely to be able to stalk all of that place if I could (The public can't shoot on national parkland). It would be absolutely amazing. That scene almost makes me religious, because if there's a god, I want it to be proud of that.

Pride Fighter · 22-09-2008 12:52AM

Dublin is awesome. I'd have Galway a close second. I am not well travelled internationally but have been in nearly every county in Ireland. Yes, it is true, Leitrim does not exist.

SnowMonkey · 22-09-2008 01:59AM

Oi Oi, I can count at least one other Toon fan.

This punter here is a mate though, who has finally creeped onto Boards.

My childhood days living in Rhode, Offaly in the 1980/90's. Best damn village around in those days with plenty to do.

Ruu_Old · 23-09-2008 03:01AM

Loughcrew Gardens and the Cairns in Oldcastle, Meath. Childhood memories, no place like home.

As cliche as it is.. New York City.

I don't think i've ever fallen in love with a city before, but i just didn't want to leave.

Fat-Boy Gerrard · 23-09-2008 01:27PM

Yes NYC much cliched but rightly so. spent the summer of 07 there and still feel i didnt root out half the nooks the place has to offer...amazing time

Krakow in Poland. Absolutely perfect.

Turtle Beach, Tobago
Stunningly beautiful place. If you go at the right time you will be lucky to see hundreds of sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs on the beaches.

Iwokrama Forest, Guyana
Very peaceful place to go to get away from it all.

NW USA (Oregon, Washington and over the border to Vancouver).
Very beautiful area, mild weather, fantastic for someone like me who likes outdoor activities.

irelands only fjord i believe, its really nice there and further on towards clifden, though the insects that swarm around that lake near lenane on the mayo side would eat the head of you in summer.

ireland has some great scenery that most irish people sadly enough totally ignore; malin head and mamore gap in inishowen, the north antrim coast, i have yet to come across something like carrick a reed rope bridge in my foreign travels. achill island is spectacular, i wonder how ordinary irish people on the street know europes tallest sea cliffs are in achill

NYC has done a great job of cleaning itself up in the last 15 years, for sure you guys wouldn't be saying what you said had you visited there in the 1970s or 80s

Ko Phi Phi of 8 years ago, amazing palce. never thought there was anywhere like it, returned there and now its a mad touristy place and nothing like it was.

My ultimate favourite is St Petersburg in Russia, as I had some of the best weeks of my life there. The place itself is a bit of a ****ehole really, but theres something amazing about it when its absoultly freezing cold, some sort of weird atmosphere in the air.

Other favourites are Nimbin and Magnestic island in Oz, Englewood in Florida and Tallinn in Estonia.

Didint like Tokyo one bit myself, was great to see it as its so differetn but wouldnt be arsed goign back to it.

Dubrovnik, Croatia. Amazing place.
