Visiting an old ladyfriend in Ireland next month, staying in Dublin and going round the country. I'm lucky to have a local traveling with me but she's been gone for a long time too, any of you heads have suggestions? Bars, stuff off the beaten path, paleolithic graves, I'm game for it all.

cromwell bastard


very weird place, looks like the moon + has wedge tombs/burial sites

If your at the burren, you have to visit the most sacred holiest of sites in the country, the father ted house

Happy St Patricks DayIreland

Suggested Sights:

• Cliffs of Moher
• Dingel
• Aran islands
• Skellig Islands
• Cape Clear
• Kinsale
• Cork City
• Derry (European Capital of culture)
• Galway

My experience it that It is by far the hardest and priciest country in Europe for finding good weed, but its normally decent quality. 15 - 20 dollars a gram

Hash is another story and I would avoid it. Extremely poor quality Moroccan was very common throughout the country.


Cork, Donegal and Galway. In that order, all have VERY good smoking scenes.

Thanks all!

am planning a trip to Ireland this summer, was thinking of hiring a motorhome thingy to travel around in staying in campsites etc as we have two young kids..is this reasonably priced or expensive?.Is there anything like Butlins in Ireland?last time i was in Ireland stayed in the Dingle peninsula in a small village cant remember the name apparently was where Ryans Daughter was filmed I think...I have an Irish passport so should get a free pint of Guinness!. My da was born next door to Brendan Behan near Mountjoy Sq, Dublin....

Good luck trying to squeeze a free pint of Guinness you would be lucky to get a free glass of water tbh.

If you can get a deal on the rental then self catering is cheap. Petrol prices are expensive but distances are normally short.

There are a couple of Butlin style resorts in Ireland but I dont know them by name. Trabulgon in Cork is one. Goleen in West Cork and Bundoren Co. Donegal are highly recommended if you are touring around in a motorhome. The latter expecially with children.
