Ireland has some of the most spectacular sights in the world with awesome natural scenery that has a mystical and magnetic effect. 

Whether you choose to feel the rush of the wild while standing on the very edge of the Atlantic Ocean, wander through undulating hills of green, or visit the capital cities, there’s something to suite everyone

For your benefit we had the impossible task of trying to pick our Top 10 for you:

Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, boast one of the most amazing views in Ireland. Standing 230 meters above the raging Atlantic Ocean, these majestic cliffs stretch out for a distance of about 8kms and offer some brilliant cliff walks.

Blarney Castle

    Blarney Castle was built nearly six hundred years ago by one of Ireland’s greatest chieftains, Cormac MacCarthy, and has been attracting attention beyond Ireland ever since.   Over the last few hundred years, millions have flocked to Blarney, making it a world landmark and one of Ireland’s greatest treasures.
Now that might have something to do with the Blarney Stone, the legendary Stone of Eloquence, found at the top of our Tower. Kiss it and you’ll never again be lost for words. But don’t take our word for it – everyone from Sir Walter Scott to a host of American presidents, world leaders, and international entertainers have all taken advantage of the stone’s mystical power. 

Walled City of Derry

Derry (Londonderry) is the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland and one of the finest examples of Walled Cities in Europe. The Walls were built during the period 1613-1618 as defences for early seventeenth century settlers from England and Scotland.

The Walls, which are approximately 1.5km in circumference, form a walkway around the inner city and provide a unique promenade to view the layout of the original town, which still preserves its Renaissance Style street plan to this day.

The Burren

The Burren, is an area of limestone rock covering imposing majestic mountains, and tranquil valleys with gently meandering streams. With its innate sense of spiritual peace, extraordinary array of flora and wildlife, and megalithic tombs and monuments older than Egypt's pyramids, the Burren creates a tapestry of colour and a seductively magical aura, which few people leave without wanting to experience again.

Newgrange

Older than the pyramids, the megalithic passage tomb at Newgrange in County Meath is a UNESCO World Heritage site and draws over 200,000 visitors a year. Built around 3200BC, this dramatic mound covers around an acre and is surrounded by 97 kerbstones, some of which are decorated with megalithic art. The passage and chamber are designed to light up for the summer and winter solstice.    http://www.knowth.com/newgrange.htm  

Giant’s Causeway

The Causeway is a mass of basalt columns packed tightly together. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Altogether there are 40 000 of these stone columns, mostly hexagonal but some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 40 feet high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 90 feet thick in places. This geological phenomenon sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the North Antrim Coast. Owned by the conservation charity The National Trust and Ireland’s first World Heritage Site, it makes for a fabulous day visit from Belfast (one and a half hours by car).

Ring of Kerry

The mystical and unspoilt natural splendor of the Ring of Kerry is a must see for any visitor to Ireland. Its spectacular beauty is beyond question and it is a natural centre for outdoor pursuits including golf, watersports, cycling, walking, riding and the very best fishing for salmon & trout.  The Ring of Kerry also provides an amazing insight into the ancient heritage of Ireland.  You will see the Iron Age forts and Ogham Stones, Old Monasteries and a landscape carved out of rock by the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago.

It’s an area steeped in history and atmosphere, with wonderful mountain walks, woodland trails and lakeside rambles.

The Skelligs

These Skellig islands are world-famous, each in its own right: Skellig Michael is known throughout the world of archaeology as the site of a well-preserved monastic outpost of the Early Christian period – now designated a World Heritage Site; Small Skellig is equally renowned in matters of ornithology as the home of some 27,000 pairs of gannets – the second largest colony of such seabirds in the world.
