Below we listed a small sample of worthwhile places to see for your visit to Ireland.

The Ring of Kerry

County Kerry (the ‘Kingdom’ to locals) is one of the most popular places to visit in Ireland. The Ring of Kerry is a 112 miles drive around one of Kerry’s main peninsulas, the Iveragh Peninsula. The drive is mainly a coastal one and it overlaps the famous Wild Atlantic Way. Passing through quaint Irish villages where a friendly welcome always awaits, it gives stunning views of mountains, lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. Along the Skellig Road you can see the Skellig Michael island which houses the famous 7th-century monastery. The island was used as a set for two Star Wars movies – The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi which has only added to the island’s mystique. Visits to the island are possible during the summer months (weather permitting) but make sure to book ahead as numbers are limited to protect the integrity of the island and the monastery.

Newgrange

Located in County Meath, north of Dublin and 5 miles from the historic town of Drogheda, Newgrange is an extremely wellpreserved prehistoric monument built more the 5,000 years ago making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. The ingenuity of its intricate construction continues to baffle the architectural world. It is renowned for its unique ‘roof box’ at the tomb’s entrance. The ‘roof box’ is a portal through which the internal chamber is illuminated through a 62-foot long passage during the Winter Solstice which occurs at the end of December. A select number of people are allowed to enter the chamber each year (decided by lottery) at the peak of the Solstice. However. guided tours are conducted for the rest of the year where the illumination is artificially replicated to give the visitor a sense of the magic of the tomb. 

Ireland’s Greenways

Greenways are traffic-free trails designed for use by cyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities making them a great option for those looking to explore the Irish countryside in a fun, stress-free and safe way. Many of these Greenways have been repurposed from old disused railway lines. Examples are the Waterford Greenway, the Great Western Greenway (Mayo) and the Great Southern Trail (Limerick). Other Greenways are being built along river and canal towpaths. The popularity of these Greenways has seen their number grow year-on-year. Greenways pass through towns and villages so you can stop off for a break at your leisure. Most Greenways also have bike hire services.
