The Aran Islands are quite beautiful. Really, if you want to get to nature it’s great to take a bus out to any small rural town, you get real Irish life, good pubs, and you can wander through the countryside.

In Ireland, I enjoyed Powerscourt Gardens which is outside Dublin. I also really liked traveling up the west coast to County Donegal, which has rugged cliffs down to the ocean. I liked the city of Cork, and my favorite place in all of Ireland is Kilkenny. Kilkenny is so medieval looking, it has a castle, it has the european streets with the alleyways in between. It has the bridge with the wooden structures on either side. You have to go to Kilkenny.

@Flo_Nightengale I very much enjoyed my Aillwee Cave tour when I was a kid, though I was quite frightened when they turned off the lights to show what it is actually like. =]
