My Favourite Irish Town/ Village/ Neighbourhood

We all know towns, villages and neighbourhoods that we wouldn't be seen dead in; the sort of places you've been to once but have no real desire to invest any quality time in. So let's park those, and instead we will be positive.

What towns, villages or suburbs in Ireland (RoI & NI) do you really like or would love to visit (again)? Don't include the place where you live.

In Dublin, Howth, great food and pubs and not far from home.

Was in Westport once before. It was good. Heading back in February.

I really enjoy going to Bundoran in the summer.

bluto63 · 07-12-2009 05:19PM

Carrigaholt in Co. Clare. Went there a couple of times as a child and always enjoyed myself

Also, it was the first village I ever saw where the amount of pubs outnumbered the amount of people who lived there

I like Strandhill in Sligo, Howth, Dalkey, and Kilkenny. I need to see more of the west though.

Melange · 07-12-2009 05:27PM

Howth is just great. Great views, walks and seafood restaurants all just a DART ride from town.

Westport in Co. Mayo is quite the little gem. It's a surprisingly picturesque and sophisticated little place set amidst some of the wildest scenery in Ireland.

Ballyvaughan

Charleville.

Lived there with my grandparents for a bit when I was a young lad and loved it. After I went home, I loved visitng my grandparents down there but it's been about fifteen years since I've been now. I imagine it's totally different.

Dungarvan, Wicklow and Enniscorthy all strike me as nice places too.

Killarney, Westport and Blarney
