Episode 142 Published 5 months ago

Description

Ireland has a way of getting under your skin.

In this special St. Patrick’s Day episode, I’m sharing 12 of my favorite places in Ireland — the spots that have truly stayed with me long after I left.

Some are well known, others are wonderfully under-the-radar.

But every single one offers that unmistakable mix that I love of stunning landscapes, deep history, and a bit of Irish magic.

From windswept beaches and sacred peaks to ancient stone circles and dramatic coastal headlands, these are places that made me stop, take a breath, and think “wow… this is why I travel.”

We’ll climb to the summit of Croagh Patrick, wander through the haunting beauty of Doolough Valley, stand among the ancient stones of Loughcrew Cairn and Beltany Stone Circle, and soak up the rugged Atlantic energy at places like Silver Strand, Glassilaun Beach, Mizen Head, and Malin Head.

Along the way, I’ll share personal stories from the trail — including a memorable hike up Diamond Hill in Connemara, time spent exploring Killarney National Park and the Gap of Dunloe, and visits to some of Ireland’s most memorable small places like Kenmare and the beaches near Dunfanaghy in County Donegal.

If you love discovering places that feel a little more untamed, a little quieter, and deeply connected to Ireland’s landscape and history, this episode is for you.

So pour yourself a cup of tea (or perhaps a pint of Guinness or a wee dram of whiskey) and come wander through 12 unforgettable places in Ireland that might just inspire your next trip.
