Lovely walks, interesting history and flora. Great tea rooms with pretty outside space. No admission charge unless you want a tour of the house which was closed when we visited.

This castle ruin is located off a main road so easy to find. It is up a hill but not difficult to walk. Definitely with the visit, especially for the views.

Our tour guide Joseph Mulligan from Happy Tours brought us here. What a fantastic place, amazing whisky and cool place. Nice people there too. I recommend a stop.

We had an amazing experience at Tullamore D.E.W.! Our guide, Andy, was fantastic – passionate, knowledgeable, and truly brought the story of the distillery and Irish whiskey to life. We were fascinated by the whole production process and loved learning about every step. The tasting was excellent, and I also indulged in one of the best Irish coffees I’ve had in Ireland – absolutely delicious! It was a memorable experience from start to finish and definitely worth a visit. Many thanks as well to our driver, John.

What an experience and lucky to be right on our doorstep! Brought visiting family to step back into time to hear some fascinating stories. Our guide was welcoming, knowledgeable and an excellent storyteller that enlightened our group of the history of Tullamore and gave us some ghostly tales that kept us on our toes. Not to mention that it’s been used on the Netflix show Wednesday. Very proud of our little town! We enjoyed it so much we look forward to attend heritage week on Thursday. Thanks again!

The National Design & Craft Gallery is actually a small space within The Castle Yard in Kilkenny. When we were in town, they had a great display by The Irish Woodturners Guild where members had created pieces with moving parts turned from wood. In the back room they displayed some of the tools and information on the craft of woodturning. Really enjoyed this small, but unique display.

During our visit the visitor centre was closed, however the 10 km's of walkable trackway winding the bog, was so peaceful, and tranquil, definitely a must when in the area.

Athlone Castle is stunning. Incredible views. The staff were so nice and helpful. We were very lucky weather wise and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A step back in time to a castle steeped in history. Sean, the owner has spent his life restoring the castle bit by bit. It was a shame I'd had car trouble that day, causing me to arrive only 30 mins prior to closure at 5:00. Do contact Sean in advance as a courtesy before you arrive, as it is their family home, as well as Castle. See the many videos there on You Tube about Leap Castle in advance, so you'll be somewhat aware of the history of this special place. Contact Sean by email. His contact address is on the official website, where you'll also find even further info about the Castle.

If you like history, this place was lovely to visit and find out about the past. Video information to start, then lots to see and walk around. We all enjoyed the walk around the graveyard and old building, views of the river, visiting the nunnery up the road.

Outstanding historical site and home of Earls of Ross. Recommend half a day for this visit. The self guided museum tour is what we did and it was excellent. We went outside, walked around the gardens and saw the telescope. You need a few hours to spend in the gardens and you could do lunch there or bring a picnic. excellent educational value. Th third Earl of Ross designed built and used the telescope and the fourth Earl of Ross invented the steam turbine.

If you would like to know more about the Irish history and see some antique pieces, you may find this place useful. The tour guides explain things for around half an hour.

Majestic ruins sitting high on the rocks with fantastic views all around. The ruins are beautiful, stone detailing is abundant through the site and the round tower is a true highlight. 8 euros to visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Does get quite busy in the afternoons!

What a stunning place! I've seen many ruins, but never one that was so freely available to all. No visitor centre, no car park, no queues or tickets. Just a lovely natural setting. The only thing I wish they had was brief information boards explaining different parts of the ruins and their history.

What an informative visit. A part of our history that some may not be aware of. We spent a couple of hours with a guide who had a brilliant knowledge of the place. Seemingly only about 5000 visitors go there each year, which is shocking. Well worth a visit and not that expensive.

This impressive structure was built in 1600's in the medieval and Renaissance style, the house is currently, closed, however the huge estate is open, and there is plenty of walks to enjoy, as well as the friary ruins (to explore) and the castle harbour is the perfect place for a picnic lunch.

Built is the early 1200's this is a stunning small castle, in lovely grounds, it is free to enter which is always a plus, the castle (walled) gardens are also worth a visit as is the cathedral, there is even a public toilet near the entrance.

Excellent place to keep the kids entertained. The indoor part is suitable for all weather. Cafe and decent toilet facilities. Outdoor picnic benches. Great for kids parties. As an adult I'd probably eat before I go next time as the food isn't great quality.

Nice walk around the lake. There was some lecture upstairs so we didn't visit inside. But the surrounding area was lovely.

This was a very unique and informative tour. You start by going through a museum that explains the history of the area and how the castle came to be. It was extremely informative. After the museum portion you actually go under the castle walls to see more about the history. The castle is well preserved and has a lot of areas to explore. Very beautiful area and well worth the entry fee. There is a free parking area for those visiting the castle.

Very peaceful Friary and spoke with a local resident tending graves. She enlightened us with enthusiasm on the history of the Friary and aspects of the construction. It's worth a visit if you are ever in the area. Free to enter.

The castle and village/park is pretty awesome. The restoration did and amazing job of sticking to what it would have been. Including the furniture being hundreds of years old (not original to the castle but just as old and from that area and time period. Most def recommend and set aside maybe 2-3 hours if you are going self guided. You can then take your time. Plus there is a Pub to catch a drink!

Just splendid! This park is another treasure in Ireland. Located close to Cliffs of Moher. Great for hiking, and seeing all the beauty of nature. Tip, dress in layers, good sturdy shoes. Terrain is very beautiful, but rocky. Be careful.

Beautiful walk but be careful walking over some of those wet stones. They can be very slippery. I took a mild spill over one of them. But they are overall breathtaking and lead to the beautiful and mysterious ruin Poulnaborne

This is somewhere I have wanted to visit for quite some time now and I am so glad we went today. I have passed through Foynes a number of times over the years. It’s a lovely small town, set on the banks of the Shannon Estuary but until today I never knew its historical significance in the foundation of transatlantic aviation in Ireland. Home of the world renowned Irish coffee, a base of innovation for the incredible contributions of Brendan O’Regan to Irish aviation and business. We were met by a wonderfully knowledgeable lady who takes huge pride and interest in her work. We had a lovely bit of over and back banter for a few minutes which set the tone for a nice, easy and very relaxed walk through the museum. I hope my pictures do a little justice to this gem of a place. I see a review here giving out about the portion of the museum that is dedicated to the late actress Maureen O’Hara. I find that very unfair as she was a patron of the museum, an avid supporter and her husband was the last pilot to fly out of there. Upon her passing her family made sure the museum received a huge amount of her belongings to display and to help celebrate her life and ties to the airport and museum. Because of that I also got to see a fabled Oscar statue on display. Anyway, I digress. The tour is full of fascinating aeronautical artefacts, navigational instruments, radio equipment, uniforms and a rich collection of memorabilia from a bygone era. The partial plane on display is so far removed from what we know now but so era correct that it’s fascinating. On the upper floors there are fine testaments to the maritime industry that thrived along the estuary. The Foynes Flying boat and Maritime museum is well worth the visit, has taught me things I never knew about the area and is a place I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Very simple ferry terminal. Straight and to the point to cross the river rather than drive around. € 22.50 for cars and all passengers. Purchase online and once you drive onto the ferry, they scan your ticket. The terminal has a bathroom and gift store. No staff anywhere and are only on the boat itself. Arrive on time, our ferry left a few minutes after departure time. Still a fun attraction, crossed river in about 20min.

Great golf course with excellent caddies. Service was awsome

Excellent tour of the Island. Our Guide John was excellent. This is a tour well wkrth taking. Boat from Kilrush Marina Co. Clare. Will go back again
