Thread Name: BS: Choose a place in Ireland to visit
Subject: RE: BS: Choose a place in Ireland to visit
Hi. It's been about 10 years since my last visit, but my favorite place was the Cliffs of Moher. You cannot imagine the power of the forces of nature-- the wind blowing in from the Atlantic. Another great place of a similar nature is the north-west coast of Mayo, a place called Downpatrick Head. There's a road that runs right along the edge of the cliffs, and you can walk right up to the edge. Up in that same area are the Ceide Fields. The last time I was there, the visitor center was just beginning construction, so I'd like to see the completed center. On one visit, I did a garden tour that included Glenveigh (sp?), Birr Castle, Muckross House in Killarney, the Botanical Gardens in Dublin, and the place south of Dublin around Wicklow (Mount Usher, maybe??).

Whatever you decide, just go wander around and you'll have a good time.
