Did you know that Muhammad Alis roots were Irish? From Co Clare! Incredible.

The Louisville Lip was incredibly proud of his County Clare, today we recall the man's star quality and his Irish ancestry. The death of boxing legend Muhammad Ali at 74 in June 2016, from Parkinson’s, would have brought back many glorious memories of the greatest athlete of our times.

I wanna take you to the iiiiiisland!!clare island to be precise! Its another west of Ireland Gem. Its only a 15ish minute ferry from Roonagh Quay,Louisburgh, Co mayo. Famous for being a stronghold of the notorious pirate queen, Grace O Malley, who in the 1500's prowled the clew bay and western coast. It also boasts and cistercian abbey, and a beautiful renovated lighthouse overlooking dramatic cliffs. Bnbs galore and a campsite too!
I'd highly recommend a day trip here,we rented bikes and explored it that way,then took a dip in the beach next to the pier...must have a cheeky pint in the community hall pub/restaurant next time!

Heres a stunning scenic drive in County Mayo for you. Doolough Valley. Whats even better is that you can relax and soak in the scenery, while sipping on a coffee from the Delphi Silver Food Truck, which has been an oasis to visitors for the past year. Winning!
A short drive from Leenane. Doolough valley is famous for its picturesque setting and also it's famine history.
Definitely worth a day trip :-)
