Britain?
I love you the most beautiful country in my heart I love Britain
If you are heading to Kerry and Kenmare then be sure to take a trip around the Beara Peninsular, stunning scenery, equal (if not better) to the ring but off the beaten track and not nearly as busy.
South Armagh. Authentic Ireland. Embraces its past but has a colourful future. Unsploit Ireland at its best. Discover a hidden jem!!
What about Cricklewood Broadway? A must see.
The Cliffs of Moher were a stunning sight till they put that wall and visitors centre in.
"Slieve League" in Donegal is better than Cliffs of Moher & less tourists, alsso Ardara, Donegal is 1 of the friendliest towns I've visited, and the "Poison Valley", beautiful and historic!!
That list was a good start. They are all very common places for tourists. My husband and I have found the truly best places were when we would go off the beaten path so to speak and find some town and spend the day. In the west, we located two little old ladies that sold lovely sweaters and rugs that they had knitted and hooked themselves and sold them out of a very old wooden caravan they had placed between their cottages as their storefront. In the south, the town of Ardmore was particularly wonderful, how I would love to live there. And while a little desolate, Spiddeal, home of my ancestors, captivated me with a unique charm. OK, I love Ireland, all of it.
How are chances of getting better Google Map images? Might be quite helpful in stimulating gringo tourista biz, no?
The Cliffs of Moher truly are spectacular - you can have them on every bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk if you vote on line at cadbury.ie/the apprentice and they may soon be included in the new 7 wonders of nature.
What, no Blarney Castle visit?????????????????????
There is an error in No.9-St Patrick's Cathedral: Handel's "Messiah" was not first performed in the cathedral - the premiere was in Neal's Music Hall, Fishamble St., Dublin, not far from St Patrick's (this hall is long gone though). In fact, Jonathan Swift voiced some opposition to it; that said, some choristers from the cathedral were involved in the premiere.
