Dia duit fair Ireland

En suite, from Dublin Scott and I picked up a car and spent a week driving the glorious southern and western coasts of Ireland. It truly is magnificent countryside, with wide open farmland and rugged beaches, all connected by narrow winding roads and cliff-top drives. The local people we met on our journey were so friendly and full of information about their country and the history of the O'Connor's and Cunneen's. We couldn't get enough of the local seafood and of course the famous chowder (served at every pub) and simply enjoyed the easy days, watching waves roll in on the wild Celtic Coast and driving through local towns along the Dingle Peninsula. Here are just a few pictures from our week on the coastal roads. Enjoy x
