It's a bit farther away, but I thought the Arigna Mining Experience was fantastic.

There's also clay pigeon shooting out in Lough Bo, I had fun there too

Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery is really cool and costs very little, the tour is excellent.

There's the National Museum of Country Life in Mayo

Riverstown Folk Village in Riverstown Co. Sligo

A drive through west county Sligo wouldn't go amiss, beautiful scenery at the Ox Mountains, Surfing at Easkey and Enniscrone.

Golfing in Strandhill



There's plenty to do in Sligo!

Take a boat to Inismurray from Mullaghmore.
Drive around Gleniff Horseshoe (The Bull McSharry's house is worth seeing although very toned down now!)
Tour Lough Gill and visit Parke's Castle (carefully restored)

or just look at the suggestions in http://www.sligotourism.ie/index.php?pagid=met1t00035

Or Carrowkeel near Castlebaldwin.

OX mountains... out the back of beyond. Nice for a drive bring a picnic etc do some walking. The Talt Lough is out there.

The woods, Hazelwood. Really really beautiful out there.

And then there is also a beautiful scenic drive around Lough Gill the views are absolutely outstanding.

Book the Celtic Seaweed Baths in Strandhill. Supposed to be a very good experience. Supposed to be great for cleansing and overall very good for you. Then you could have a few drinks in the strand and chill.

So good in fact I'm gonna book it in the next week or so.

They're great for clearing the cobwebs away after a big session. And then, sure you'll need a pint after all that relaxin'.

The forest park out near Boyle has some lovely walks too, and during the summer you can get a boat out to the castle on the island in the lake there - it's next on my list of things to visit. (the island I mean, go to the forest park itself regularly)
