This is why people come to the Blaskets. And why the seals never leave. 😄💚

In summer, Great Blasket Island makes for one of the most memorable day trips along Ireland’s southwest coast. Boats run daily from the Di**le Peninsula in County Kerry, taking visitors across to this remote island where you can spot seals on the beach, walk quiet coastal trails, and explore the ruins of a once-thriving village.

The island was home to a small Irish language-speaking community until the 1950s, and is known today for its natural beauty and literary heritage, with some of Ireland’s most notable writers and poets once calling it home. With open views, rich history and plenty of wildlife, it’s a special place to slow down and experience a wilder side of County Kerry. No wonder it has the 'seal' of approval. 😉

Ireland’s version of a picture frame... carved in stone and hundreds of years old. 🤩

This is the Rock of Dunamase in County Laois, a hilltop ruin that’s been watching over the countryside for centuries.

Once a major stronghold in medieval Ireland, it’s now a peaceful place to explore, with open views in every direction and crumbling walls that tell their own story. The ruin has been standing here since the 12th century, but people were gathering on this hilltop long before that - it even appears in ancient Irish texts as far back as the 800s!

Step through the old doorways and it really does feel like the landscape is perfectly framed. Definitely the kind of view that looks like it was made for your camera roll!

Save this spot for your next road trip.
