My husband and I came on holiday to Ireland in 2001. We travelled around for about a month and decided that we wanted to come and stay here. Eventually we moved here from South Africa in 2018. We love Ireland and the Irish people. They go out of their way for you and are very friendly. My husband's great grandfather is from Ireland. Thank you Ireland for welcoming us.

Just back from a family trip to Ireland - 17 days self planned, self driving. We went to both the Republic and Northern Ireland. I am so glad I found your videos before the trip as they were a HUGE help in planning. Thank you very much for the videos you do!

You should definitely make more videos - you have a very pleasant nature , and that really comes across. And you are a great ambassador for Ireland. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video 😍 Beautiful Ireland ! Must see more places 🌳⛰️🌲🍄☘️

Beautiful places in Ireland...a fan from the Philippines.

I never "like AND subscribe" but I just did. So many places I missed. I paused about a dozen times to go to maps and mark for future visits.

Thanks so much the info

So beautiful place

Lovely video Craig

great content to be sure Thank You

Another great video

Great video, thanks

Thanks you very much

so interesting. Thank you 🙂

Miss you Ireland

Thanks again, Laura x See you next time 👋

Love your channel Laura❤

Going on a solo trip to Ireland at the end of May, and watching your videos have been invaluable. Very well done. Thanks, Laura!

My wife and I just returned from Ireland on a pilgrimage of visiting old friends and tracking down some family along the way. We spent 2 weeks visiting many places along the way starting in Dublin and visiting fantastic locations like Aherlow to visit some friends. Then on to Abbyfeale for another visit with another old friend. We then moved on to Dingle (Loved it) and we explored many of the places you showed in this video. From there we went up to Doolin with a stop for lunch in Listowel with our friend from Abbeyfeale. We were hoping for the Cliffs of Moher but it was wet and stormy but had a great time with a great dinner at Fiddle & Bow and some great Irish music at the local pubs. From Doolin we traveled up to Gallway to again see some more old friends of ours and again had a really great visit and spent some time walking this fantastic city. We then traveled into Clifden where we stayed at a B&B and really enjoyed our host at the Shanakeever Farm - Bed & breakfast. From Clifden our goal was to find my wifes 2nd cousin in Cloghbrack. On the way we stopped in and walked the amazing Kylemore Abby and then onto Leenaun and veered off onto the R336. From there my wife had me turn at the L1301 into the highlands towards Loch Na Fooey. I literally asked her "What have you got me into this time", it was so off the beaten path but I'm so glad we did. What a beautiful drive that was with vistas at every turn and a truly amazing drive. Our destination was Clonbur where my wife last met her 2nd cousin from Cloghbrack some 38 years earlier on a trip with her parents. She showed me the hotel they stayed at and the pub across the street from all those years ago. Now my wife had no contact information for her cousin but from a tip from a local we went into the pub and asked the woman behind the bar if they knew her cousin or if any of the family were still in the area and amazingly she did know of them. My wife asked for directions to their house but she said "have a seat and I'll call him". She came back 5 minutes later said "John will be here in 10 minutes". Can you believe that!? I was speechless. Well in 10 minutes John walked in and we had an amazing visit with him and my wife was ecstatic and so happy. We went onto Gong and stayed the night there. On a tip from our host in Cong he said the only way to see Ashford Castle was to either book a room, book dinner or walk in after hours as the castle is now a privet hotel and not open to the general public. We walked in that night (Amazing!) and the next day had tea at the tea house and walked the outside areas. If anyone goes just tell the guard at the gate that your going in for tea. He actually was quite nice and said...several times before I got the point - "Your going in for tea right?" and he let us pass. After some tea and a walk we drove all the way back across the country to Maynooth just outside Dublin and spent our last night in Ireland at the Glenroyal Hotel (we highly recommend this hotel and absolutely book a dinner reservation in their restaurant). We flew off to London the next day and spent the next 3 days in Wales with our good friend from home and her family. I can't say enough about this great country and next time I will be visiting my ancestral home up in Donegal.

We loved your tips! We are coming for 3 weeks in September and October. Thank you!!😊

Very useful tips for our first visit in 2024. Thank you

So appreciate your sharing favorite places as we hope to plan a visit!

Awesome journey

Nice vid

Wow beautiful sceneries would visit someday

Sightseeing Irland ....amazing

That's a lovely picture of it Laura

Great tips even viewing as a local, never thought to visit Tipp but defo on the list. Great clips and video overall!!

Beautiful lady, great video. Still can't believe the lack of restrooms at some of the parks. Very inconvenient.

Nice video!!

This looks like easier hiking trails with incredible views. I didn’t get to see much in Ireland when I visited so thank you for this great list for when I get to go back one day. I was terrified of the bridge but wanted to go very much. It looks less scary like you said!!

I have been in Ireland for 2 weeks. I saw your video and I am sure I will go there some more times! Tanks you!

Want to go one day. The castles really caught my attention too.. it's beautiful there

Nice video

Still haven’t been to Ireland , looks epic !

Thank you for the great recommendations, Laura! I’m glad I found your video before my trip to Ireland; I’ll be much better informed and prepared 🙌.

Thanks! My daughter and I are visiting Ireland and focusing on the northern half. I added several of your recommendations to our TODO list.

New subscribers here. We love hidden gems, local tips and insider views. Love your video and your info is spot on!!

Thank you. My husband and I coming for three weeks and staying at most of the places you mentioned.

I love the yellowstone shirt. I'm glad you could visit

Stayed in Dulin. The cliffs were beautiful.

Ireland is so amazing. Greetings from Galway.

I have been to Ireland many times with my Irish born husband and I love that you show me so many things Ive yet to see but thanks to you...will!

G’damn this was helpful, when I make it out there I’d like to buy you a drink! 🍻

HI, I just arrived 2 months ago in Ireland, to be more exact in Dulbin. I'm fall in love with the cowntry. And I love your videos. I could hear you all day long.😍 Thank you very much. The bests for you 😍

Going up Sleigh Head and down into St. Finean's Bay gives amazing views of the Skelligs.

Awesome video and I’m visiting Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland this spring or early summer of this year.

I love Ireland

Visiting Ireland in May from the U.S., and watching your videos have been invaluable. Very well done. Thanks!

Wife and I have planned a trip for next summer, can't wait, has always been a place that I wanted to visit.

Thank you for sharing so many favorites that are active, walking/hiking, scenic stops. It's great to hear an insiders perspective and advice that may not all be in the typical guide books.

Rock of Cashel Is my favorite. I visit it every time I go to Ireland

thank you so much for this amazing video, me and my wife are moving there soon and we want to spend some time exploring the country... this video helped a lot thanks

Thank you Laura. Great intro. So many drop dead gorgeous views!

I've been to many of these places on my two trips to Ireland. Tipperary is one of my favorites. My great grandfather came from near Fethard. Cashel is mythical. Can't wait to go again.

The parking near Hag’s Head was a great tip. Following the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk sign from Liscannor takes you there. The paths have also been overhauled and are in much better shape than the trampled trails 20 years ago (or the officially closed ones that people would still walk along about 15 yrs ago.) But *ahem* somebody seems to be telling people about a shuttle to take tourist back to the visitor‘s centre from Hag’s Head … I don’t think that’s a thing. (I sense a business idea for moving to Ireland, though … Tuk-Tuk shuttle services, anybody? Just 10 € per person.)

Very good as always

Great List Laura!

I LOVE your videos! Your enthusiasm for your gorgeous country is inspiring. I had to laugh a little regarding your Yellowstone National Park sweatshirt! If you ever get back to the states and you haven’t been there, you HAVE to visit Yosemite National Park! I highly recommend Housekeeping Camp as you get the best of both worlds; Beds, electricity, but your in a sheltered room. Please keep these videos coming. Blessings to you!

Hi Laura Always a pleasure to see you 😊 You're Video just comes at the right time, since we're booked for a holiday on Ireland, starting at the end of May. And of course we intend to see the cliffs. But all the others gems, too, of course, which I knew from your previous vlogs 😎

Thank you so much for this video. I love the views. It all looks so beautiful.I really want to visit Ireland but you might not be able to get rid of me. I have been thinking about a vacation out there to really see where my roots are from. I think with this video you have made up my mind Again thank you so much.

We spent a lovely week in the Village of Bruff in 2018 because it was half way between Cork and Limerick. We found a treasure, Lough Gurr. Stunning. We arrived as strangers and have a whole village of new friends.

Achill island, the Aran islands off the West Coast are well worth a visit. Very busy in high season. West Cork is really spectacular. Also the Titanic exhibition in Belfast is worth seeing. Huge investment was poured into this attraction.

Thank you, so much! Ireland has been on my "Bucket List" since childhood. Hope to get there, someday--this vid is inspiring me to set a goal date! Thanks, again and look forward to watching more of your adventures.

Can't wait to go back. Has to be the most beautiful country on earth.

📢 Dursey Island Cable Car is closed for maintenance until March 31st 2023! Thanks to @gallowglass2 for bringing it to my attention! Also want to say a big thanks to everyone who has supported my channel so far. It really means a lot 💛 What place in Ireland is on the top of your bucket list?

Love this AND your 7 day itinerary video. If we did not want to rent a car would you recommend a transport company for us to hire? Or do you think we could just do Public transport and book private cabs along the way?

Planning to visit Ireland with baby next summer! :) This was priceless!

You did an amazing job on this video!! Do you have any itinerary suggestion videos for Ireland? I would love to see what you think would be the perfect time for, say, 10-15 days in Ireland 😉

Visited the Cliffs of Moher in 1992. No visitor centre. There was just my friends and myself there. Gorgeous. Visited Newgrange a year later. The visitor centre was a little hut at the bottom of the field that the tomb stands in. I think I visited these places at the best time.

Well done, Laura. That's a very good introductory summary. All worth a visit. It's a pity you couldnt fit another 50 places worth visiting into your 21 item list😂😂. Well done. Youve done your research.

You missed the Gap of Dunloe, a stone throw drive away from Killarney Nal Park, absolutely stunning!

Nothing can compare with the Connemara coast, Gazing out in silence with the one you love the most, The beauty of this place and the echoes deep inside, Make me think we're only just a moment in time Chris DeBurgh

Very cool nice list !!!! Actually one of my fav spots is Roches Point co Cork and the drive there along the bay/estuary

Visited in 2018 and returning next week. It's a long way to Tipperary.

Laura we just found you and so glad we did!!! We are traveling to Ireland at the end of May-June. My ancestors are Irish and can not wait to visit!!! You’re selling this well, I’m already thinking we either need to extend our trip by a week or two or plan another trip next year 😂

Great video! My wife and I are planning to visit Ireland in late September and will definitely plan to visit some of these places. Do you know which city in Ireland has the best Oktoberfest event? Thanks again!

Hello, thank you, this is a great Video! Is there a way to explore some places in Ireland without a car?

I wish one day I will go there for holidays

Just about everywhere we are planning to visit during our two week trip was on your list. Unfortunately we’ll need at least two more weeks to visit all of the other amazing spots you shared. Great video!

Thank you so much for your advice, it's so useful! I haven't seen other videos about Ireland like yours, it's awesome. I would love to do Spanish subtitles for it so more people can know about your advice. If that's something you'd be interested in, please let me know! Love from Argentina 🤗

Great video, thanks for giving me more sites for me to add to our Ireland trip in spring. I’m so excited to visit Ireland. We’re gonna be Dublin, Cavan, Donegal, Roscommon, back to Dublin, so you’ve given me several more besides the popular spots. I hate that we won’t have time to get to the Cliffs of Moher, but definitely Sleive League and as much stuff in Donegal as possible. Thanks again for the video.

I went to school in Ireland in the late 70s. I traveled though out the Republic with my Professors. The family I lived with was headed by Dervla Henry, a teacher of Irish and, in the summer, Ireland's best tour guide. I was very lucky. I was able to travel independently with my Father while I was in school, instructed by my Irish Mom on the itinerary. I've been back a few times since. I love your sugesstions.

I would love it if you ever did a car free itinerary we are visiting from the US and I just can’t get myself to mentally be ok renting a car so we will be doing our traveling by train/bus

Another good way to visit the Cliffs of Moher is by bicycle. There are four cycle hubs all starting in Doolin and one leads also to the Cliffs. You don‘t have to pay any fees there, when you arrive as a cyclist. And I am missing Dingle and the Dingle Peninsula and Cobh on your list. Aren‘t you recommend those two? And if not, why not? But the other destinations, some of them I know and love, but you also gave me some new ideas for my next and eighth trip to the emerald isle☺️

Thanks to all Ireland's people. I feel in love 💞 of first moment to went here. We always appreciate your help. Ukraine.

If you want a guided walk of the Cliffs of Moher local farmer Patrick Sweeney offers them starting in Doolin While your're visiting the burren, the pulnabrone dolmen is in the area and is only busy when the tour buses show up We paid for a tour of Gap of Dunloe that picks you up in downtown Killarney and drops you at Kate Kearney's Cottage. From there you ride a jaunting car thru the GoD to Lord Brandons Lodge for lunch. After lunch a boat ride across upper lake Killarney, under the old weir and brickeen bridges, and across Lough Leane brings you to Ross Castle where the return bus is waiting for you. What a delightful day Thanks Laura for all other other great ideas for our next visit

You are Amazing!!! Your information and insights are GOLD. I just found your channel while researching for a trip. Can I hire you to consult on the trip I'm planning? Seriously.

I intrestued ierland

This was seriously such a good video! We have traveled through Ireland twice (from the USA), and I appreciated all your tips and tricks in this video-it would have been wonderful to know those things prior. All your places were jaw droppers for sure, some of which I hadn't heard of. Well done 👏

nothing like looking through old videos. I just did a video on Places in Sligo. Congrats on your channel success. I remember when i started watching your videos back when you were 1400 subscribers.

Great video. Thank you. I would like to suggest two topics for additional videos. 1. Getting around Ireland on buses. I have been to Ireland seven times and am going again this summer. Rental cars are soooo expensive and I'm too old and too nervous to drive on Irish roads, so I take the bus which I find very comfortable. But it would be great to see a video about places that are easily accessible by bus and which require less than a mile's walk from the bus stop. Also info about planning bus trips in advance (online routes, schedules). Also BusEireann vs. Go Bus vs. Local buses, etc. Bus etiquette. How and where to buy your ticket, etc. 2. A video on learning the Irish language by studying in a Gaeltacht would be helpful to those of us who are learning Irish online in America. Discuss various Gaeltacht areas and the Irish language schools (for adults) that exist there. If you've already done these videos, please let me know. Go raibh maith agat. (I'm practicing my Irish. 🙂)

Hi Laura, very cool video!! I am planning to go to Ireland in June and take my DJI Mini 2 with me. Can you give some tips on flying with a drone in Ireland, please? What should I take care of? Thanks a lot!

Great video. Have been to nearly all these places having taken the ferry to Dublin, went down to Waterford via Kilkenny, then across to County Kerry, and then so the way up to County Donegal mostly along the Wild Atlantic Way. So I was ticking off all the places you recommended, the Copper Coast (which was really just luck going from Waterford to Cobh and choosing a scenic route), Mizen Head, Killarney National Park, the Ring of Kerry, the Burren (didn't stop at the Cliffs of Moher but passed by because the weather was atrocious when we were there, you wouldn't have seen a thing), Connamara, Doolough Valley, Achill Island, Slieve League, and Errigal Mountain (didn't do as much walking as in your video, but did a fair bit) . Only a few places missed, like Baltimore Lighthouse, Dursey Ireland, the caves in County Sligo, the Rock of Cashel, and the Wicklow Mountains, and the Giant's Causeway (have done the last three before and can't do everything). A few places I've been in surprised weren't on your list were the Dingle Peninsula, the Mountains of Mourne, and of course Newgrange, which even if you don't pay to go and see the actual monument the landscape around it is enchanting and a bit like the area around Stonehenge (in a different way of course). And as well, I'm not sure if it's on the Causeway Coast but it's not far away if it isn't, there is the Gobbins cliffside walk, which is amazing (if you've not done this, you have to, I've not done anything like it). There are so many other places as well I'm sure I've forgotten about, it is such an amazing country and the people are very welcoming and you always have a good craic.

So let me get this straight. I get from what you said that there is no bathrooms anywhere; not a place for an old guy like me. The one cliff walk you said was 3 hours in, but you couldn't use their bathrooms. Wow, can't wait to go to Ireland.

Kerry Cliffs, Croghaun on Achill and Slieve League in Donegal to me rank above Cliffs of Moher

Let's be the view would love to come
