Ireland - Dublin and the Southwest

The Emerald Isle! We took a ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare and then drove along the south coast via Cork and Blarney, to explore the beautiful peninsulas of the southwest. From there we headed across to Dublin, via the C12th Rock of Cashel. North of Dublin, we visited the very impressive, 5,000 year old neolithic tombs of Bru na Boinne*, before catching a ferry back from Dublin to Holyhead. A really great trip, but there's a reason it's called the Emerald Isle - it rains a lot! We need to go back to explore some more, armed with better cameras and hopefully enjoying some sunnier weather! (* = UNESCO World Heritage Site).
