Ireland is also known as Emerald Isle
due to the beautiful green fields that cover the countryside. Here you are
guaranteed of stunning surroundings, a warm welcome and a perfect pint of the
black stuff. Dublin is a very popular city to visit, but to make the most of
the unique landscapes Ireland has to offer, you’ll have to explore a little
further afield.
Donegal
Donegal is an exceptional county
filled with friendly communities and breathtaking views. Many visitors mention
Donegal as their favourite area in Ireland and people travel from all over
Ireland to explore the naturally beautiful surroundings. One of the county
treasures is Glenveagh National Park which is perfect for outdoor activities
such as walking and salmon & trout fishing. Here you will find rugged
mountainous landscapes, sandy beaches, clear lakes and the late Victorian
folly, Glenveagh Castle.
Aran Islands
The Aran Islands are a collection of
three islands which are nestled at the mouth of Galway Bay. The beautiful and
isolated islands have attracted and inspired many Irish artists and poets over
the years (including the leading artists Seán Keating and Liam O’Flaherty).
Aside from the unique weather-battered landscapes other notable attractions
include several Iron Age forts and Teampull Bheanáin which is considered to be
the smallest church in the world.
Kerry
Located within the province of
Munster you will find County Kerry. The main town in this area is Tralee, but
the most significant is Killarney. The Lakes of Killarney are an area of
outstanding natural beauty and can be found in the mountainous Killarney National
Park. The Ring of Kerry (the Iveragh Peninsula) is a mystical part of the
country, perfect for outdoor activities especially cycling, golf, walking and
water sports. Also consider a drive around the Ring of Kerry. At 110 miles,
it’s a lengthy journey but it provides an excellent opportunity to take in the
beautiful views from the coastal road.
