National park
👍👍 Amazing scenery, but be ready for the weather changes: it changes so quickly and so often. We had sun, light rain, heavy shower back to sun, then a shower, sun, extremely heavy rain all within one hour. The pink walk alongside the main falls is well worth doing with a good wide path. (Brown is hard...

Gougane Barra National Forest Park
National park
👍👍 One of Irelands most beautiful places to visit. Stunning views, a vast number of trails to explore and a pub and cafe nearby if you get hungry. This is the kind of place that requires a few days to take in, one day is not nearly enough. There is accommodation nearby but I wouldn't put anyone off pi...

The Burren

👍 Title: "Awe-Inspiring Barren Cliffs Adventure!" Review: Our visit to the barren cliffs after the Cliffs of Moher was a thrilling experience. The views of enormous rocks showcased the beauty and, at times, the awe-inspiring, slightly intimidating side of nature. It's a perfect stop on the way to Gal...

Carrig Rua Hill
National park
👍👍 Really like this place. It’s a steep climb at places but it’s a very enjoyable walk/run. The car park isn’t huge but it’s not as popular a place as it is located off the main roads so isn’t usually an issue. There is a good path up to the aerial at the top. You can also go through other more forestr...

👍👍 Unique park in Ireland with a small café next to it. One part of the park is paid (8 EUR) and it has a small pet farm and basically an open air museum rich of Irish history to explore, with detailed explanations provided. The free part of the park had a senior & children's playpark, lots of art and...

Claggan Mountain Coastal Trail

👍👍 We were advised at The Visitor Centre, to take this walk. Half beach walking half board walk. Absolutely brilliant. The beach walk is beautiful, edged with peat and full of glittering stones. Now, we found the other hoke, but didn't see any otters, unfortunately. But the 5000 yr old oaks, now in...

👍👍 You have to go here! Absolutely breathtaking views and can't wait to come here again with time to explore. Stunning area. Shame some people think it's okay to use some areas as a dump. Keep your rubbish in your car, scum.

👍 Great playground, trails with markings is very helpful, easy to spot some deers on the way. Most area accessible by buggy as well. River bank is beautiful but on the day there were lot of bird droppings in the water so didn’t seem swimmable.
