Pictures of Ireland - Pictiúir Na hÉireann.

I heard that in future they may not let people enter the Newgrange inner chamber, which was the best part, so we should consider ourselves lucky we got to see it. It was a bucket list thing for me.

I guess you've got to weigh it up with preservation and whether being a tourist site can be damaging. The way is was built to catch the sunlight on the winter solstice is what is so magical about it. It was quite a few years ago that I was there and I've never forgotten it. There are a lot of ancient monuments in Ireland. Skellig Michael would be pretty special to visit. My parents did Croagh Patrick in the past. My mother said it was very hard.

I would kill to go to Great Skellig or other mountain ranges in Ireland like Croagh Patrick. I feel like Ireland has a lot of "bang" and gorgeous scenery for such a small country. A sight at every corner. It blows me away.

This is the problem with sitting browsing the internet. A quiet Tuesday evening quickly becomes a very early Wednesday morning with the alarm going off and me questioning what I booked last night. But this was the only moment of regret, once I arrived in Ireland, I knew I was onto something pretty cool. Originally I'd thought a wee overnighter in Cork was the plan. I'm so glad I went the extra few miles to Cobh - It is genuinely one of the coolest towns I've ever visited, with everything I look for - sea views, ships of all description, friendly, laid back locals, and a proper Guinness

Join me on my short time in Cobh and discover some of the history this small town has to offer. And yes, I'll also take you for that pint.

Our spectacular adventure in Ireland from drone. We visited in 7 days lot of wonderful places - Cliffs of Moher, Rock of Cashel, Kilkenny castle, Drombeg Stone Circle, Burren National Park or Charles Fort. Due to the irish weather we couldn't fly with drone in many places. We also visited Galway, which is amazing small towm full of lovely people, irish music and pubs. Unfortunately last day came the hurricane Ophelia and we had to stay in our cottage on the farm.
