    Moynalty. Tidy Towns winner 2013.

    Ugh. The moment a town is announced as the winner of Tidy Towns, it completely puts me off ever going there. Such goodie-goodies!

    (And also... what the **** is Moynalty?!)

    Steam thresher's paradise. Also caters to yoga practitioners.

    Crookedwood in Westmeath is nice. As is Rosemount.

    Baltimore and Skib. And Durrus. Allihies too.

    Killarney is a total cliché ridden tourist trap.

    Cobh looks nice in the summer months with flowers in bloom. Looks even nicer if viewed from the water.

    Westport in Mayo is a lovely town, and lovely spots outside the town too.

    Skerries is a nice spot too.

    Roundstone in Galway is probably my favourite.

    There's something magical about Dublin on a sunny day with a clear blue sky overhead.

    Skerries and Malahide also

    The two best spots in Ireland are a) Douglas, Co. Cork and b) Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.
    Beautiful places.
    Douglas? :)
    Douglas is nice but at the same time just a standard suburb.

    Glengarriff, Rosscarbery, Tramore, Ardmore, Ballycotton.

    And lots already mentioned.

    Agree with you with regards to Douglas, but Ballycotton's a strange one. Lovely walk down by the cliffs but the village is nothing special at all imo.
