Rossnowlagh, and the beach just outside Bundoran. I remember a lovely summer evening looking over the water from the cliff; stunning.
The drive from the Sligo side of Bundoran can give a great view of Slieve League aswell.

Chapelizod is easily one of the most underrated places in Dublin. With the Liffey flowing through it and the massive Phoenix Park next to it, and the long walk by the Angler's Rest and Liffey valley (as in the valley of the Liffey - not the shopping centre!) on your left, Chapelizod is great for those of us who love the water and to roam through hundreds of hectares of land. Walking by the Strawberry Beds is like walking in the countryside.

My favourite place in all of Dublin still has to be Howth/Binn Éadair. Unlike Dún Laoghaire or other places it still retains a strong fishing village sense to its identity and heritage.

Yes it's quite nice out by the Strawberry Beds and nip in for a pint. Howth is lovely as well, sometimes go for a walk around the cliffs and then fish and chips down at the pier

Being biased but parts of Donegal are beautiful when the weathers good (some even when it's not). Don't mean to bring negativity to your thread but some of the houses that were thrown up in nice places are atrocious.

The Inishowen pennisula is gorgeous.

Donegal is beautiful, up around Carrigart.

Love Clifden out in Galway, very nice.

I've always loved Chapelizod. I would love to live there. It has everything. One of my favourite rehearsal spaces in Dublin is there too - Muzzle studios.

Ive lived in the area all my life but Killiney Bay gets me everytime. I never get sick of the moment im on the DART and exit the tunnel from Dalkey, amazing view.

You should get off the DART and take a walk up Vico Road. The view of Dublin bay to the left and the Wicklow mountains to the right is spectaculiar.

I almost forgot, Carlingford in Co Louth is one of the nicest and most romantic villages in Ireland, and very close to Dublin so ideal for a weekend getaway.

It has great, high quality restaurants and, by all accounts, a very good adventure centre. There's also a good medieval festival in the summer and regular mountain walks of Sliabh Feá/Slieve Foy.

Nice place alright. Bit expensive, and a little too built up over time though

Inch Beach, Co Kerry is sublime. So too are the views as you climb up towards Carrauntohill Mountain in Kerry. Heart -stopping ...

PS - I'm not from Kerry ...

Well Islandbridge I suppose but on St Laurence Rd in Chapelizod there is a walkway by the Liffey, under 3km long I think. You see all the rowers and you'll end up in the War Memorial Gardens which are fantastic

Cars should be banned from Inch Beach. It's a disgrace to allow cars onto it

AH Answer? My bedroom

Proper Answer? Either Glendalough or Gougane Barra, love them both. The peace and tranquility that you get there is amazing. Must head to both soon!

Whilst I don't particularly agree with you on Sligo Town itself being beautiful, there are some lovely parts of the surrounding area.

Actually, the whole of the North West has some stunning scenery that would rival anything in the likes of Kerry. The Tourist Board seems to have a hard-on for the South West though and the NW seems to be forgotten about when it comes to promoting tourism.

I think that's part of what makes the area so amazing. I absolutely love living in Sligo.

A few years ago I cycled down the coast of Mayo and found it spectacular and seriously underrated county. The area around Rossport, and Belmullet/Black Sod - just, wow. A photo could never do it justice.

I don't know the name of the place, I found it by accident once on a road trip. It's somewhere in Wicklow.
