(9,452 posts)29. I'm with you, Ireland. A month in the north and a month in the South
Although pretty much most time spent in the Republic
First month ish North, around Malin Head, as far north as you can go. The Inishowen peninsula. Maybe some time in Moville Greencastle. Then a few days in Derry, walking the wall, checking out the murals thinking of John Hume and Phil Coulters the town I loved so well.
Then all the way to the opposite end, around Cork city for some golf, history and fishing. The town of Cobh has an amazing history. It is where many emigrated from. Some to America, some to a Australia, wherever the crown was sending them. Cobh is the home of the Irish Alcatraz, the last stop of the Titanic and the Lusitania. Taking a boat out of Cobh may not be a great idea but it is beautiful.
