Share three places and things to do in your area.
I will begin with just three of the wonderful amenities we are lucky to have in the glorious county of Kildare.

A day out at the National stud and Japanese gardens.

The Curragh of Kildare for fun and games, hiking or take in a bit of horse racing, at the Curragh, Naas or Punchestown.

The K Club for Golf, a meal and/or just relax in the oppulent surroundings.

1. Loophead, Kilbaha and the cliffs at Kilkee. All next to each other.(Forget the Cliffs of Mohar, they've ruined them and are only properly visible by boat).

2. The Burren including the Dolmen, the Ailwee Caves and Father Ted's house.

3. The Willie Clancy week or the world's largest singles festival in Lisdoonvarna.

1...Blessington Lakes, when u drive in around the back roads, the views are something to be reckoned with...

2...Glendalough...

3...Donadea forest, love walking round it especially the monuments...

In no particular order
Walking the peace bridge and at either side a beautiful park area and at the other end the beautiful maiden city centre.
The famous historic Derry Walls, a walk round them not to be missed overlooking the Free Derry corner where bloody sunday happened.
One of the many tours of the city, pointing out all history of the city, finishing of the evening in one of the many pubs, Paeder O Donnells being very popular with visitors ;-)

Exactly,thumbs up

It has to be one of the top beaches I have ever been to. Uncrowded, unspoiled with no gaming arcades, forest walks,

Ok, on second thoughts, maybe we should keep it quiet in case it turns into another Courtown.laugh
