This place is just amazingly beautiful. And when you think the Abbey and the lake in front of it takes your breath way, a short drive or walk to the Victorian Walled Gardens, doubles you over.
It’s pretty strange albeit cool to be driving down the motorway in Ireland and see a sign for Barack Obama Plaza. Well, that’s what happened when I visited Ireland recently and my driver stopped there for tea. You should do the same when heading on the M7.
307. Galway City has grown up a lot since I last visited many years ago. It’s now a bustling city with lots to to, plenty of shopping and beautiful surroundings. it’s certainly worth a stop the next time you’re in Ireland. And Galway is the European Capital of Culture for 2020.
These caves are many feet below and has an amazing history of how they were discovered. Plus it has the longest stalactite in the northern hemisphere. Trust me you want to go see this.
I was being driven through the Loop Head Peninsula and we drove through this very sleepy town called Carrigaholt. We stopped for lunch at the Lucky Duck cafe and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were being showed around by the Loop Head Tourism folks, but I’ll tell you the hospitality was real. I think you’ll find the same when you visit.
Kilkee, Ireland is the main town in an area of Ireland called the Loop Head Peninsula. It’s not a place that many visit as its not as famous as the Cliffs of Moher, but the views are spectacular.
Killarney is an area in Ireland that is naturally beautiful. Pretty much like many parts of Ireland. The color you see the most is green; this is due to the high amounts of rainfall. The region has a lot to see, but try to focus on Killarney itself when you go as it deserves to be explored.
If you like picturesque towns with multi-colored buildings and great views, plus very friendly locals, then I highly recommend Kenmare. The town is also along the Wild Atlantic Way so you will be experiencing one of Ireland’s major attractions.
225. There are many things to see in Dublin, Ireland, but this Library is one that many seem to overlook. Don’t be one of those check it out; I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Sir Alfred Chester Beatty gave the Library to the country upon his death.
200. Limerick City, Ireland. A quiet town on the river that’s really worth visiting in Ireland. It’s a pleasant walking city with a pretty cool castle at one end.
