I have been deeply in love with Ireland since my youth, I grew up with the music of The Cranberries and since I was a child I imagined the bucolic Irish landscapes I've been to Limerick, Dublin and Cork, but I hope to discover rural Ireland in the next few years. I love the Irish people in all aspects, because they are very hospitable and love their traditions. The love I feel for Ireland, The Cranberries and Dolores is indescribable, because apart from having grown up with their music, it was essential when my father died. For me, Dolores is something really important, I love her deeply, and I feel a very special bond with her country. Greetings to the Irish, from another beautiful island, Mallorca!

[@RyanShirley]

I’ll have to listen to The Cranberries, nothing better than Irish music and the people. Some of the nicest people I’ve met! Also awesome you live in Mallorca 😁

Almost 23 years ago (July 2000), we went to Ireland when our two boys had just finished high school. Now they have their own children ranging from 7 to 16 years old. We are in the process of arranging a return trip this summer (June 2023). There will be 10 of us and we plan to visit for 10 days. We're already getting pretty excited. Now, we will get to see Ireland through our grandchildren's eyes!

2 weeks ago I was in Ireland. From Dublin we travelled to the west and south of Ireland. It is a beautifull country. Amazing landscape, good hotels, friendly people, good food. We saw a great show: Celtic steps. We climbed cliff Moher, sailed on lakes, went in a jaunting car, visited a castle and open air museum. Did the ring of Kerry. Saw bordercollies guide sheep. Visited a lot of places. We went there by bus on the ferry. It was amazing. We sung together and heared talented people sing there. This must be one of the most beautifull places on earth to visit and they have great Irish coffee.

I moved to the north coast of N. Ireland just 3 years ago from the US. This video was really well done and the filming was beautiful. I mostly explore by motorbike, and there are none better than the A and B roads here for riding. I've not been south of the Cliffs of Mohr yet but as the video shows, the landscape is like an onion with layer upon layer of sites worth seeing. You could replace the whole great list of places shown in the video with a set of alternatives that would not disappoint (Glens of Antrim, Malin Head, Dunluce castle, the Gobbins, Newgrange passage tombs, Torr head, etc etc.). Then there's the cities, for example Derry/ Londonderry the Walled City. Each village is interesting too. Don't forget a rain jacket 😃. I will hopefully explore more of the southern half of the island in coming years while I still have some balance left 🤣

[@WillN2Go1]

Great list. Downpatrick Head is even more exciting when you realize how many voids are beneath you - it's all voids. Kayakers go through the labyrinth of caves underneath. I remember three 'dips' near the big sinkhole with the viewing platform. They were each less than a meter across and no actual holes, but underneath would be huge voids that will inevitably open up. The tower is a Martello Tower, the entire Irish coast is lined with them, they're also across in Britain. They were built based on an Italian model as an early warning system during the Napoleonic wars. If you miss one, or it's locked up, or falling down, there'll be another in a few kilometers. The WWII numbers with EIRE were indeed for Allied aircraft. Each number was on the charts Allied aircraft carried so if you were off course ferrying an aircraft across the Atlantic you could quickly orient yourself and get to your destination base in North Ireland or the UK. (They were technically a violation of Ireland's neutrality.) Near Downpatrick Head is Ceide Fields - the oldest walled field system in Europe. These were farms 5000 years ago, when the peat was only half as deep. Terrific museum. Amazing exhibit on the history of peat bogs. (And museums: Dublin has several, but the main Belfast museum for the history of stone age and iron age Ireland and the other British Isle, is as good as a visit to the British Museum and on par with the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.) Mt Erigal takes less an hour to climb - easy. I was sitting in the parking lot thinking of hiking it the next day, but then I spotted people at the top. I'm used to mountains in the Western US, which are too tall to see anyone on the top.) In the area and from the slope and peak of Erigal is some really beautiful glaciated scenery, big gorgeous U shaped valleys. (And there are more than a few beautiful Irish beaches so don't worry if you miss the one mentioned in the video, find another.) Skellig Micheal is spectacular, but it's also rebuilt. A great visit, but maybe I've saved you sometime wondering how the newish timbers got into those 'old' walls. The puffins are a treat. After a puffin gives you that quizzical look two feet away you will always love puffins. An ornithologist on the island told me that the puffins on the other side of the island are afraid of people. This is like 200 meters difference. The trip out was really rough, and I'm a sea kayaker and a sailor. I'd take Dramamine an hour before the boat leaves (a good tip for any rough boat ride) it settles in, and slowly wears off so you won't just get sleepy. And if you have walking sticks bring them - makes it much easier and safer walking down the steep uneven stairs on the slope.) Dingle Peninsula is a must see as is the Gallarus Oratory. Unlike almost all the 'ancient' stone beehives in Ireland this one really is old. Best dry fitted stone I've ever seen. Drive past the gift shop, park for free and walk in. It's free to visit, but you won't know this if you first stop at the gift shop. For the Giants I camped near byin Portballintrae and hiked over, really beautiful hike - I think I spotted a fish net spot that was in a documentary made almost a hundred years ago. (Tip: when you get to the northern end of the trail along the slopes, don't bother climbing over the fence. I did, it's bit risky but not too difficult. However, when you get round the next head, there's just more of the same for ten miles (local knowledge).) To tour Ireland I rented a car and would recommend the same. Get up before dawn when you can. The Dark Hedges gets crowded with tourists in bright colors so a terrible photo opportunity. Both this video and my bit here don't even scratch the surface of Ireland.

I'm half Irish myself, so I've been there a few times to explore its beautiful countryside, cliffs and Dublin (guess that will be in part 2). Looks like you were lucky enough to have some fair weather and sunny days, too. Unfortunately the sea is too cold for much swimming. If you're ever near Mammoth Mountain ski area in California, Devil's Postpile is a basalt formation much like Giant's Causeway. Eleven million views on your Europe video - amazing.

[@RyanShirley]

That’s awesome your half Irish and have been a few times! I need to visit Dublin next time, just flew into the airport and then headed straight for the sea and countryside 😅 I’ll have to check out devils postpile, I’ve never heard of it. And pretty crazy about my Europe video, it just keeps getting views

[@MOSSFEEN]

Which half Top or Bottom😂😂😂

Hello fellow half-Irish person, I've been there as well and I agree that the water is freezing.

[@declandowling5496]

Nice video mate, I'm from Ireland myself and live here still. Nothing like it, might I suggest the Burren in Co Clare and also the inshowen peninsula Co Donegal for your next trip. Spectacular 👌

[@RyanShirley]

Thanks Declan! When I return I’ll make sure to visit Burren! ☺️ looks amazing ☘️

[@rodicamrz73]

Thanks so much Rodica! Where are you from?

[@oireachtas100]

Thank you for your fantastic review, of course being Irish Im biased. Ill have to get to the Skelligs. Thanks for the inspiration.✌

[@RyanShirley]

Of course man! What part of Ireland are you from?

[@johnmorrissey5012]

The Beara peninsula has it all, the most stunning scenery, irelands only cable car to dursey Island, the bull rock, (which has a sea tunnel which you go through in a rib boat), ireland only Buddhist temple at dzogchen beara Buddhist centre, ireland only man made beach at the best village in ireland, Allihies. Ireland largest fishing port at castletownbere, irelands prettiest village Eyeries, ireland tallest waterfall in Adrigole. There is so much more to see, Beara is a must visit location.

Great video 👌 It’s very hard to pick one favourite place in Ireland 😅🙈 We did all of Wild Atlantic Way by car and couldn’t pick one place it was beautiful everywhere we went🤩

[@RyanShirley]

Thanks Gintas! The wild Atlantic way is such a magical drive!

Tip for cliffs of moher. Drive to Liscannor, there's a GAA pitch where you can park and a lady who'll let you park in her driveway for 2 or 3 euro. Think its about a 3 hour walk from there to the main section and back. Otherwise it'll cost you 12 euro per person to park by the main section.

Good man. If you're ever back you can add some place along the north coasts like Mussenden Temple (park at Black Glen car park and walk in over the cliffs, you then drop down past a wee waterway and walk through some ancient forest area. Unreal in Springtime when the wild garlic is out). Also Dunseverick Castle, Dunluce Castle and Ballintoy harbour are really good. Then from Belfast up towards the North coast you can stop and explore the Glenariff Forest Park and walk the wooden jetty paths around the waterfalls. Then from there drive towards "Waterfoot" and stay hugging the coast road to Cushendun and you'll pass by really cool cliffs and tunnels on the road. After Cushendun you can just head straight to Ballycastle and onto the other stuff I mentioned at the start of the comment.

[@RyanShirley]

Thanks James! I wish I could have stayed more days in Northern Ireland. I was in castlerock next to Mussenden temple, just didnt visit! I’ll be back soon 😁

From northern Ireland down along western Ireland to southern Ireland, up through the Irish midlands and then over to finish up in eastern Ireland.....Now that's a road trip to remember! You'll need a month and you still won't get to see all of this magical island country.....

Wow. 500,000 subscribers! Congratulations.

Thanks so much Chris! Half way there 😁

If you ever go back to ireland you need to go up the vee. Its a drive from cahir to lismore and there is some great spots along the way to view. Its relatively untouristy but you may get caught in the traffic jams along the route and by traffic jams i mean sheep on the road. Lismore castle is breath taking being built overlooking a river, you cant go into the castle but you can walk around the grounds. In cahir there is a castle and you can still see some cannonballs stuck in the wall from the 1600s

[@martij75]

Info regarding those signpost Eire 64. They were made during "Emergency" - as the WW2 was known in Ireland. Their purpose was to help aircraft pilots to navigate. They were to mark latitude - all over west coast of Ireland. Recently they are being discovered and renovated. Some were even on east coast - one is in Dublin suburb Kiliney.
