no you live in bumkin land and yes thats crap

i dont even understand what that means but its cold, it rains all the time and theres nothing to do! but if u are around this way go to the giants causeway, the scenery is possibly even better than that photo on the first page, and the road running up the cost from Larne to portrush is perfect smooth and very twisty

Im supprised Kerry has not been mentioned yet, now that has some fantastic places if you want seenery then the ring of kerry is worth a look some beautifull places on your way round. Or if your a little short of time go to killarney wonderfull town with some great places nearby like muckross house and tork waterfall. Its about an hour west of cork city but well worth the trip over in my oppinion, Dom

30 years since I was there, I hated it. With family and nothing to do.

Now I dream of going back and having nothing to do

I second this. I did exactly this in 2002, we stayed at the Royal in Bray and t'was great - four poster bed, nice pool and hot tub, and a short walk to the DART station and beach. About 30 mins on the DART then to Central Dublin.

I'd advise against Greystones just because the trains don't go there nearly as often - Bray is the proper terminus with the occasional service further to Greystones.

Matt, I've been 3 times in all now, I really do like it there, different pace of life, different attitude...

1st time I stayed in Waterford with 3 other friends for St Patricks day, got drunk etc etc. We walked into one pub, ordered Guiness, looked round pub was full of people all drinking Taunton Dry Blackthorn Cider, which we found hilarious as Taunton is 20 miles or so from Yeovil...

Next Time was this trip on bikes, County Clare, beautiful place, not much in the way of nightlife, but then thats not what we went for. Thread here

3rd time was last year, stayed in Liz's relatives holiday cottage, absolutly nowt to do in terms of nightlife, however a really beautiful place again to stay. Dublin is a short flight away 50 minutes or so or you can get the train.

That area of Ireland is fantastic and very well known for Surfing / surf culture.

Its a brilliant place to go to just chill and relax and get away from it all.

I'd say just pick an area, then go and explore, you'll have an ace time. Take the bike if you can, just adds an extra element to it.
