    Went to Letterkenny with friends for a weekend a few years back and it was such a class party town. Our second morning there the hotel bar already had traditional music blaring,was packed with people and everybody was drinking quite early. On the nights out everybody was so friendly and funloving and it just seemed everybody was just up for some craic . Great for a lively weekend away with lovely people.

    For a different type of break,I'd like clare and donegal.
    Have always wanted to go to cork aswell,as I hear nothing but great things about it.
    I imagine it as a much larger Galway but could be wrong?

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

    Few mentions of Howth, and it's a plus one from me on that:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭Elba101


    The walk along the coast between Malahide and Portmarnock is great. Howth as well and Galway town. Many fond memories there...

    Despite being made feel like a pariah and a ''bad guy'' by the rest of the group I was with, I really enjoyed visiting Lisdoonvarna in Co. Clare. Really cool spot with really spot on people in it and great pubs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    Achill island


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭Whosbetter?


    The Missus is frm Galway City.

    We regularly go there to visit her folks.

    Often think, that would have been a great place to grow up in.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,654 ✭✭✭cruiser178


    Bunratty village co clare, beautiful place to be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 kenneth5


    Carrick-on-shannon, Roosky and a few other small places on the northern stretch of the shannon whose names escape me. Really fine intimite friendly places ( except athlone ) no where like them in the rest of ireland.

    Also I'm going to take this chance to advertise my own town of mallow. It doesn't have the greatest of reputations but it isn't half as bad as a lot of people seem to think and the standard of restaurants here has gone from one out of ten to nine out of ten in the last year or so. I recommend uncle brandos and essink for anyone who might be in the area soon. Some decent old fashioned irish pubs like the old fiddle. Would really recommend a visit for any restaurant buffs and anyone looking for a good night out in north cork

    I went out with somebody once from Carrick-On-Suir and thought it was a nice town.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 542 ✭✭✭milly4ever


    Castlerock, Co. Derry- my favourite beach :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    Achill Island, absolutely beautiful and relaxing.

    I've heard they have a problem with rabid St Bernards which would put me off visiting?

    Kilronan, Co. Galway :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    The Heath, Co. Laois-Legendary place.:D
    Kilkee, Ennistymon, Lahinch, Co. Clare.
    Tramore, Waterford.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,768 ✭✭✭almostnever


    Gaoth Dobhair,and basically everywhere around the Gaeltacht I went to. Beautiful :D

    Tallaght, in the fall...

    Oh - and Neilstown just before dusk


    :P

    Bere Island, West Cork. Every summer as kid spent there, it's pretty isolated especially in winter but in the summer it's magic.

    Kenmare, Co Kerry. Beautiful little town

    Howth again, only down the road from me :)

    Now, I respect the principle of each to their own and all that, but... Tramore? It's a miniaturised Blackpool cum dormitory town for Waterford city.

    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.

    I had to google that to make sure there isn't more than one Charleville in Ireland. It would on my top five as the biggest shítholes in the whole country (actually most of the towns and villages in North Cork are dumps).

    Ballycotton in East Cork would be one of my favourites, as would most of West Cork.
