Things to do in Ireland
- Green fields and hills give Ireland its “Emerald Isle” nickname. But with nearly 2,000 miles
- of coastline, rivers, and lakes, the island nation is also awash in blue. Rounding out all that
- unspoiled nature are ancient castles, historic villages, and pubs alive with traditional music. For
- 1,600 miles along the western coast, the Wild Atlantic Way driving route winds past prehistoric
- sites, lighthouses, and coves. The Dingle Peninsula section is one of the best places to soak up
- the area’s rugged beauty, particularly from the water. Group inflatable tours offer up-close looks
- at marine wildlife near the Blasket Islands, an archipelago uninhabited since 1953 and known for
- its soaring “Cathedral Rocks.”
- While on the shore, learn about Irish history through seaweed! The southwest’s rocky coves
- are rich with seaweed, revealing a little-known piece of Irish history. “In Lent, when people
- couldn’t eat meat, they would go down around these shores and get laver*, as it’s high in
- protein”, says Kerryann O’Farrell of Atlantic Irish Seaweed, whose guides lead educational sea
- vegetable walks at Derrynane Harbour. In County Kerry, Sneem Seaweed Baths encourage the
- marine plants’ purported therapeutic benefits through heated soaks in a wooden whiskey barrel
- overlooking Kenmare Bay.
- After that, it’s time to sip real Irish whiskey. In the 1800s, Dublin led the world in producing
- the “water of life”, or “uisce beatha” in Irish. A recent revival has brought five new distilleries to
- the city, among them Roe and Co., where the flavors experience lets visitors sample different
- whiskeys, learn how it’s made, and try their hand at mixing cocktails. At the Irish Whiskey
- Museum, learn about the spirit’s history, then head over to the Whiskey Palace, located inside
- Palace Bar. Opened in 1823, the Fleet Street institution was a favorite of writers like Flann
- O’Brien. Today, it pours more than 400 whiskeys, including its own label.
- Another interesting tour is to travel along the River Suir. The 33-mile route is one of
- Ireland’s three accredited blueways, which are trails dedicated to exploring water routes. You
- can join a tour and float past castles and under stone bridges from Cahir to Carrick-on-Suir.
- Alternatively, the restored 13-mile riverbank towpath stretches from Clonmel to Carrick-on-Suir,
- passing fishing huts, wildflower-filled banks, and the apple orchards of Bulmers Cider. You can
- also float under the stars on a night kayak paddle: there are plenty of prime kayak spots in
- Ireland, but a nighttime paddle can open up nature in unique ways, says Jim Kennedy, a guide
- who takes small groups into the sheltered waters of Castlehaven Bay in County Cork. There,
- kayakers turn off flashlights and stargaze on clear nights or sometimes experience the bay’s
- bioluminescence.
