My brother got married at the Celtic Ross Hotel there over Christmas.
It's a lovely spot!
But man the wind there is brutal, I thought the windows were coming in on my at one stage.
BTW we took a New Years day dip in a tiny village harbour a few miles away (can't remember the name, I think a trawler was lost there fairly recently though, god save them..)

Dublin port

k.p.h

No place I'd rather be than out West, head to west Clare a couple of times a year and I love it. Even though I'm from the midlands there is something about standing there looking out across the Atlantic that makes it feel like home.

Lia_lia

Killarney and surrounding areas! Might be a bit biased though


Love Kinsale too.

cazzak79

Any coastal areas like Galway, mayo etc

kitty9

my girlfriend's pussy :P

Balmed Out

Dingle peninsula. How people think ring of kerry is nicer is beyond me.
west cork coast around clonakilty or around crookhaven on the mizen peninsula.
Parts of Donegal.

Also like parts of Mayo, Waterford, Wicklow, Clare. List goes on. Most of the coastline is great.

Chinasea

Departure lounge Dublin airport

mud

Barley Lake near Glengariff. Awkward to get to but totally worth it.

Also Enniscrone in Sligo/Mayo. Fabulous beach.

Inchydony Island near Clonakilty.

In fairness, pretty much everywhere rural in Ireland is beautiful

redzerologhlen

The burren, Leannane in Connemara and molls gap and the connor pass in kerry!! The more remote the better.

rusty_racer94

I loved Connemara until I moved here. Lovely place for the holidays though!

Kamjana

Dunmore East in Waterford.

Ellis Dee

The Slieve Blooms up around Rosenallis. The name of the village sounds like a couple of old dykes.:):):)

i was there in 2006. i stayed in one of the massive mansions overlooking the harbour (don't mean to sound rich). it was my cousin's neighbours nephew (rich oil person) who gave it to my cousin's for a week

it was a glorious week i spent there.

Whoever you are


Was never fond of Clifden myself.

Micky Dolenz

West coast, Kerry and Clare.

Jesus Shaves

The drive from Galway to lahinch, the views are breathtaking

tayto lover

On top of Slieve Foy on a nice day with a flask of tea and a parcel of ham sandwiches and looking down on the beautiful Carlingford Lough and across the water where "The Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the Sea". Heaven in the peace and quiet of nature's beauty.

KingK

Strange choice here but Wexford town,absolutely love the place for some reason

Absolutely love Devil's Glen in Wicklow

Favourite urban area has got to be Kilkenny. The castle and the old buildings make it feel so medieval for me.

Haha I'm afraid my knowledge of all the pubs in Kilkenny stems from the fact that ever since my mom was pregnant with me, I've been dragged to the Annual chess tournament in the club house hotel/bar and butler house.. (un-nerdy, I know )

Last year I went they wouldn't serve me on the basis that the very idea of me drinking made the manager feel ancient. Sadly no pubs for me I guess


Back to topic -

There's a particular road (can't remember the name) on Killiney hill (driving from Dalkey on the hill toward the beach) which provides the most spectacular view of the sea at night. Especially if the moon is out in full force, it makes the whole beach area light up and leaves a moonlight trail (can't remember the term in English) on the sea. Would really recommend people to check it out if they're ever stressed and wanted to go for a drive. And provided there's a full moon of course.

Open roads and breathtaking views, spectacular!

The Iveragh peninsula especially down ballinskelligs, waterville area.. A sunny day down there and there is nowhere else in the world you would want to be.

Leenane Connemara is mine

Leenane is pretty stunning as is Kylemore Abbey. Even Donegal would be hard pressed to beat that but the Poisoned Glen in Dunlewey at the foot of Errigal comes pretty close!

tallus

Glendalough, a beautiful part of the world.
