Skellig Michael

Reviewed By Yonderluzt

First, you need to book this well in advance. They only allow so many visitors per day. I won't comment on the tour companies because I only have experience with one (and it was good). Some days the weather is too rough to land boats. Because the trips are booked full weeks in advance, you can't reschdue for another day. That being said, if you get a reservation, and if the weather cooperates, this is well worth the trip. There are a lot of steps, so being in decent shape helps, but I wouldn't call it trecherous by any means. There are plenty of videos that give a good idea of what to expect. Watch them and take that into consideration if you have young children or folks who particularly don't like heights, or jumping on and off a rolling deck, into consideration. IMHO the trip is well worth it.

Clare Coastal Walk Project

Reviewed By WhereToTry - Waterford, Ireland

Spectacular views on this walk. Truly amazing and well-worth taking a few hours out of your day to go on it. It is not too difficult but good walking runners or boots are definitely a must. There are quite a lot of boggy areas (even in dry weather) to cross over. This is definitely a must if in Doolin or nearby.

This garden of Remembrance was established by Kathleen Murphy in November 2001. Kathleen grew up in Ringfinnan, Kinsale, County Cork which is located in the south of Ireland. Following her training as a nurse in England she moved to New York where she worked as a staff nurse for 40 years in Lennox Hill Hospital. Kathleen always admired the brave and courageous work of firefighters. Following the 9/11 attacks she decided to establish the garden of remembrance in memory to the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on September 11th 2001. Kathleen passed away in March 2011 in New York following a battle with cancer and is buried less than 2 miles from the garden.

What a wonderful way to spend a few hours!. Tucked away in the Co. Limerick countryside, this magical fairy garden is a little peace of Heaven! The gardens are immaculately kept and the fairy story propels you to another world ! The added bonus of complimentary refreshments at the end of your adventure is very a lovely way to finish your journey....very competitive priced and should definitely be on your staycation itinerary !

Our guided tour of this historic house lasted just over an hour and was extremely well curated by our witty and informative guide Aoife.We gained a real insight into how the Victorian gentry and servants lived their lives.This location truly is a national treasue.
