How about a trip to Ireland Southwest

The south of Ireland, particularly coastal regions, is a windswept, exposed, rugged, lush green, craggy and hilly land, with countless farms, hundreds of small towns and villages, and a couple of larger cities such as Cork or Waterford (of the crystal glassware fame!)
Coming to this part of Ireland should only be done if you enjoy getting out about among the rolling hills, breathing some incredibly fresh air, seeing the colour green (it’s called the Emerald Isle for a reason!) and having a nose around a host of old ruins, castles, forts, and pretty little towns and villages with locals who’ll be only too happy to welcome you in. Cork is a little livelier, but by no means on the scale of Dublin, but with plenty to see and do for a weekend, so while you’re driving around this wonderful country, make the effort to head down south and you’ll be well rewarded!
