There’s more than a hint of magic to the Kingdom, around each corner you’re likely to be ambushed with the kind of scenery that elicits gasped responses. Take the Ring of Kerry with its winding coastal road that weaves through mountains, past craggy ocean vistas, pretty towns and long golden beaches with the Jurassic pinnacles of the Skellig rocks in the distance. Or Killarney National Park, sprinkled with lakes and deep valleys and the remote Dingle Peninsula. Its natural playground plays host to all sorts of adventuring from hill walking, cycling, horse riding, sailing, windsurfing and golf. The food scene is thriving, the villages quaint and it’s awash with venues and hotels that range from five star fancies and romantic manor houses (The Park Kenmare, Sheen Falls, Dromquinna Manor, Muckross Park, Parknasilla) to unique restaurants and seaside favourites – it’s no wonder it’s a top destination choice for weddings and a national treasure.
