Croagh Patrick
The 764-metre mountain near Murrisk, traditionally the place where St Patrick fasted — a broad, windswept summit and one of the great walking and pilgrimage places in the country.
Oceanworld Dingle
The aquarium in Dingle town — penguins, sharks, Asian otters and rays under a glass dome on the main street, the classic rainy-day stop on the Iveragh and one of the best places in the country to do with kids.
Skellig Michael
A small, steep island off the Iveragh Peninsula, home to an early Christian monastery of beehive huts — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the great places in the country.
Slieve League
A wall of grey limestone dropping roughly 600 metres into the Atlantic on the Derrybeg Peninsula in southwest Donegal — among the highest sea cliffs in Europe, and only properly seen from the foot of them.
The Blasket Islands
Two small islands off the Dingle Peninsula, home to a community until 1953 — now a nature reserve and one of the most important seabird colonies in Europe.
Clooney More
A headland on the north coast of Sligo Bay and one of the best-known surf spots in Ireland — a place we describe here without a precise map, because the headland and its dunes are fragile and the land is not all public.
Derryveagh
A large, remote mountain and glen country in southwest Donegal, centred on Derryveagh National Park — one of the wildest areas of lowland and mountain on the west coast.
Malin Head
The northwestern tip of mainland Ireland, where the Wild Atlantic Way starts — a lighthouse, a tenth-century cross, and the widest view of two seas you will get on this coast.
