Title: Visiting Ireland
Post by: Silver Night on 14 Dec 2014, 22:14

So, looks like I may soon be visiting the country of Ireland. I thought (as many of our members are located several thousand miles closer to it than I am) I would see if anyone had suggestions about what to see/do while there. I'll be flying into Dublin and we will probably swing down south through Cork while there. Will have about a week, and I don't know how much flexibility I'll have (currently still planning it with the other folks who are going).

If you're in Dublin, the Guinness brewery is a no-brainer. Avoca is a nice town to go visit, especially if you watched the old BBC program called "Ballykissangel".

If you find yourself on the other side of the country in Galway, take a ferry out to the Aran Islands. If the weather's nice and you feel up for the exercise, rent a bike while you're out there if you're not on the van tours for the old forts and stuff.
