    Excellent video. Too many people visiting Ireland trying to pack too much into their short stay . They miss so much by just trying to visit the main attractions . I am too old for tents ,my way on each visit , I've been over in excess of twenty times ,
    is to rent a cottage and use it as my base . My main area is around Doolin and do car trips out every day and exploring as you have off the beaten tracks and then into the pubs in the night for music ,people and the pints . It is all about slowing down when you are there to take your time on the many empty beaches .

      Nice video. As a Mayo man, I would recommend the Quay area of Westport, beside Westport house, which has some lovely restaurants and a nice view over Clew Bay.
      Over in neighbouring Castlebar, John McHale’s pub does the best pint of Guinness I ever did taste, as well as being home to Lord Lucan’s ancestral estate and the excellent National Museum of Country Life.
      Ballina’s ridge pool is also home to some of the best salmon fishing one can get, as was attested to by the late Jack Charlton.
      I believe that Inishturk and Clare Island are also ramping up their tourist potential these days, with more ferry crossings and accommodation available during the summer months.

    Spent a weekend in Achill in June. Glorious Sun. We drove our camper which is great but way slower than a car. 6 hours drive but worth it all. Keen and Keem beaches were beautiful but as we traveled the island the scenery just got better and better. Came home through Westport on by Croagh Patrick then on to Doo-lough valley. The most beautiful place with a very sad ( famine ) story. An Gorta Mor. I hate calling it a famine. / then on to Ashleigh Falls, water was very low at the falls. Had food in Leenane ( where the film , the Field was set ) I love it there. On to Galway Usually stop at Cong ( where the Quiet Man was filmed ) and drive around lough Mask and head back by lough Corib but so much driving ahead we came direct home. Next two trips were to Kerry , Dingle , stayed at Dunmore Head on the Slea Head drive on Dingle Peninsula . Don't miss the Conor Pass if weather is good. All right, Safe Driving and enjoy ~Sean

    If Shannon Airport is an option from where ever you are coming from into Ireland, I'd take that option over Dublin Airport. Dublin Airport is a nightmare, from delays, to cancellations and just packed with people so tightly, long queues for security that move very slowly and a lot of baggage lost.
    Shannon is pure chill usually.

    • @SomethingToRemember
      @SomethingToRemember  Год назад +1

      Knock Airport is also a good alternative! Thanks for commenting ☺️

    • @tracytinker
      @tracytinker 11 месяцев назад

      Knock is especialy great if you want to start in Mayo. I remember when the priest had a dream and started prparing the land befor the development was even oked by council. HA. Showing my age. We were so excited because it is only 30 min to Grans house. Back in the day long before you were even a thought, the roads were not what they are now. We had a 5hr drive from St. Louis to Chicago to catch a direct flt to Ireland. Either Shannon or Dublin. Then the 8 hr flt. to either. Then the four of us would load into my Uncles car with him. Sometimes he would bring one of my younger cousins for company during their 5hr car ride to the airport. We would cram (3 adults, 3kids and a bunch of lugage) into what was usually a older Hunter something or a Cortina. Mind you we were staying for the whole summer. Uncle Martin always brought enough rope. Lugage for 4 people for a six week stay. It was in the boot, and on top of the roof all roped down with the rope going through the windows. We took many clothes due to Gran not haveing washer/dryer or even plumbing. So then another 5hr drive up to Mayo. I was the smallest so I would always be in the front with my Dad and Uncle. Sitting a little on both seats and stradling the gear shift. We would load up the laundry drive into Ballina to the laundry mat. We would always get stares because it was usually a long process and stealing a machine as offten as we could when a person was finished and also trying to be polite to the other people doing laundry. My Sister and I would be yanking out the somewhat dry clothes to make room for more wet ones so all the machines werent taken. To say the least we would get not so friendly looks. @@SomethingToRemember

    Because the U Boat war was starving both Ireland and The UK, Dev and Churchill had an agreement of overflight rights to extend the reach of anti sub Bombers. Each Éire marker has a number. They were channel markers for the RAF to make efficient overflights to extend the patrol range by allowing easy navigation to RAF bases in the North. Lovely video. Tír Chonnaill Abu!

    For years, I have advised people going to Ireland who are new to the country to stick to Clare and Kerry. There is so much to see there and with Galway and the airport nearby, it’s a win/win. However, my father is from Mayo and having just come back from there, I have to agree that there is sooo much to see in Mayo but I am very familiar with the county and definitely biased. Up Mayo!
