Top attractions in Ireland

The perfect choice for a short break due to how easy it is to get to, take a look at these top attractions in Ireland that are sure to make you want to visit.

The Cliffs of Moher, County Clare

The stunning Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s most-visited natural attraction, and when you see them for yourself you’ll immediately understand why. Wild and unruly, a walk along these cliffs offers uninterrupted views across the Atlantic, and the chance to experience some of Ireland’s untouched nature. The cliff walk is around 8km long – so a return trip will take around 4 hours – and they reach 214m tall at their highest point. With around one million visits per year, the Cliffs of Moher can get very busy, so we suggest visiting either early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the crowds.

Trinity College, Dublin

No trip to Dublin is complete without stepping into the world of the Trinity College. Wander through the college’s grounds to escape the sounds of the city, and even sit and relax for a while in the peaceful surroundings while you gather your thoughts. Trinity College is home to the famous Book of Kells, one of the world’s oldest books, which you can see during your visit. You might also like to admire the college’s Long Room, which holds around 200,000 of the building’s oldest books, plus a number of marble busts.

Blarney Castle, Cork

Located just outside of Cork, Blarney Castle is an impressive medieval stronghold and home to the Blarney Stone. It is said that when you kiss the Blarney Stone, you will be given the gift of eloquence, but to do so you must hang backwards over the castle wall!

The castle itself is a joy to wander around, and you’ll find lots of interesting nooks and crannies to discover. Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic to enjoy in the grounds, which are beautiful no matter what time of year you decide to visit, and you might spot horses and donkeys as you explore too.
