Where is the best place in Ireland to go if you want to experience the feel of scenery and small pubs?

I want to see green grass and lots of scenery! Like stand by the water and smell the flowers? Also I need it to be cheap.

The west coast of Ireland is stunningly beautiful, charming %26amp; full of character. The Dingle Peninsula is gorgeous, and isn't as crowded as the Ring of Kerry. Definitely go through the Ring of Kerry, though. It's breathtaking and very, very green.


It's exactly the way you'd expect Ireland to look.





Gallway has a cool pub scene %26amp; lots of awesome music, and it's fun for younger ppl because it's a university town. From there you can make to the magnificent Cliffs of Mohr fairly easily. They're one of the most famous sites in Ireland.





If you only have a few days, I'd stick to the Dingle Peninsula %26amp; the Ring of Kerry. You won't be disappointed.


This area is way less expensive than Dublin, too. My family stayed in B%26amp;Bs everywhere, and I think they were pretty reasonable.





Dublin is v. interesting %26amp; historical %26amp; if you're into music it's awesome, but it's a city, so you're not going to see lush rolling green hills %26amp; you're going to pay more %26amp; deal with traffic.





Check out Rick Steve's Graffiti Wall %26amp; the TripAdvisor Ireland forum for more ideas.





Have fun. : )
Reply:i wouldnt recommend going to the Wicklow Mountains (like someone suggested!).


i live in Wicklow and althought the scenery is amazing, the area as a whole is rather urban.


Same with Dublin, it is intersting and whatnot, but i go in there almost every weekend and trust me, there isnt much scenery.





If you really want to experience "old" ireland, i think you should go to the West....County Clare


i have family who live in a town there called Ballyvaughan....and its absolutely beautiful


There, you can stay in a thatched cottage and visit the little pubs and restaraunts by the sea - theres often live music.


Theres also lots of cool scenic things there too.


The burren (which im sure youve heard of), the Ailwee caves, The cliffs of Moher.


Theres also a "birds of Prey" sanctuary near the Burren - worth a visit.


In Lisdoonvarna i think, theres a nice aquarium and if you want to do some shopping you can go to Ennis.


The people are SO friendly there and so proud of the County- the accents are crazy too lol.


In comparison to most places in Ireland, its a lot cheap there





Take my advice, you wont regret it. Clare is sooooo beautiful. Im FROM Ireland, and it still amazes me how nice it is over there
Reply:def the west...kerry, clare, galway, mayo.


Dingle ,killarney, and westport all make a great base for exploring the rest of the west. And for cheap, theres plenty of b%26amp;b's in these areas.


have a look at discoverireland.ie
