5 Incredible Tourist Attractions in Ireland

Ireland is home to an ancient culture full of mystery and magic – and a

landscape to match. Some of the world\'s most popular tourist attractions

can be found in Ireland.

1. Cliffs of Moher, County Clare

Around a million people visit the Cliffs of Moher every year, making them

Ireland’s most visited tourist attraction. They rise 204 meters out of the

Atlantic Ocean at their highest point, while rocks at their base jut out of

the sea like giant ship sails. The cliffs have appeared in a number of

movies, including the 6th Harry Potter film.

2. Giant’s Causeway, County Antrim

The hexagonal stones of this natural wonder look man-made, but they

are actually around 60 million years old, and were formed due to

volcanic activity. According to legend, a giant by the name of Fionn built

the causeway so that he could cross the sea and fight a Scottish giant

named Benandonner.

3. Trinity College, Dublin

Founded in 1592, Trinity College is Ireland’s oldest university and is

home to the Book of Kells, a bible written in 800 AD. It is regarded as

Ireland’s finest national treasure. Tourists come year after year to see

the bold and intricate illustrations that adorn this historic text.

4. Blarney Castle, Cork

This castle is home to the famous Blarney Stone. Legend has it that

whoever kisses the stone will receive the \"gift of the gab\" (i.e. the ability

to speak confidently and persuasively). Visitors have to hang backwards

over the castle walls in order to kiss the stone. Nowadays, there are

guard rails to hang onto, but in the past visitors were lowered down by

their ankles!

5. Ring of Kerry, County Kerry

The Ring of Kerry is a 179 kilometer-long tourist drive. Visitors can

expect to see breathtaking natural scenery, including beaches and

waterfalls, and historic towns, churches and castles. Most people drive

or bus around the Ring of Kerry, but there is also a well-established

walking trail called the Kerry Way.
