Ireland | AllCheapFares

 

Ireland is made up of the Republic of Ireland containing 26 counties and Northern Ireland containing 6 counties. It is located in northwestern Europe, to the west of  the United Kingdom, the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Irish Sea. It is a land steeped in history but not particularly with historical marvels. Ireland is known for its misty green countryside, its culture and tradition (including legends and folklore), and its warm-hearted and friendly people.

 

Ireland is a small country with picturesque countryside. If you want to explore some tourist destinations that are off-the-beaten-track, Ireland has plenty of them. To begin with, the Burren region is an extraordinary place with underground springs, caverns, chasms, and cracks. The most notable of such caves are known as the Aliwee Caves, which are being developed on a continous basis, to connect the naturally occuring sections of it.

 

The areas around Killarney are great for hiking and biking as well. The Killarney National Park is free to enter and comprises two separate estates. Hiking through the Gap of Dunloe and taking a boat down through the three lakes is well worth a day. Visiting the monastic ruins on the Dingle peninsula is also well worth some time and is close by. The town is where most of the local accommadation is based but other than nightlife has little to offer. Add to it the Aran Islands particularly Inis Meain, Clonmacnois , and Connemara, Galway and Sligo and you are sure to have a wonderful time close to nature.

 

Ireland is one of those ideal traveling destinations except for one thing: the weather. But you would be foolish to let this stop you. If it should pour down, you can always drop into the nearest pub for a pint.
