Hello All
I'm seriously thinking about visiting Ireland for a week in June and wonder if anybody could help.
I'm not looking for any sexy play etc.. just wondered if you splendid Irish people on here could recommend somewhere which isn't too far from an airport, has lovely scenery ,culture and safe (as safe as things are anywhere) for a lone woman visiting therefore would need good access to village/town centre, cafes, restaurants etc..
I don't want somewhere too insular as, although born and bred in England, I am Latin and so would rather try and avoid any prolific hostility.
Any help would be appreciated  |

Not sure what u mean by prolific hostility but I recommend Wicklow.. South of Dublin full of amazing scenery and some great villages. Not far from the city but yet still isolated and free from big city life |

Thank you. I considered Belfast however many years ago I used to know somebody who was born there (Eglinton) who came to England to study at Uni and not once did he speak favourably of the place which has kind of put me off |

Well I'd say Belfast has changed alot from what it was.
But if it's scenery then the mourne mountains are hard to beat and plenty of towns around them. Just depends on what your after. |

What not try Kerry and cork you could fly into Kerry airport, then you could visit all the little villages along the coast between there and Cork airport, there is lots to be seen along the way including Killarney which is a great place for a night on the town.
Where ever u choose you will gave a great time in Ireland. |

Has to be Galway ....stay in the city and take day trips from there to connemara mayo and Clare ....paddywagon do great tours and you would probably meet some ppl to spend the evening with rather then going it alone all the time.....I would be very surprised if you met with any hostility as this is a very busy tourist area.....enjoy! |

Thank you everybody for taking the time to respond either on the forums or privately. The West,in particular Galway has been highly recommended hence I'm going to look into it a little more and go from there.

Hi,
Yes the west coast is fab, and as a bonus! You could take in Irelands only swingers club I-KANDI in Limerick too!! Also reccommend Bunratty Castle, lahinch, and the burren! If driving, and if not, definately consider hiring car! As public transport is either not existant OR rather painfully slow & inefficient. |

Thank you and very useful - if not a little surprising - to know about the public transport situation. I may look at any tours available or hiring a car.
I don't plan on doing any of the swinging stuff - more into the archeological scenery, the people and the culture |

Yes looks like I can fly directly into Shannon from Manchester which isn't far from Leeds, easier than Leeds to Dublin and then traveling over to the West Coast |

Derry is also a great shout, ifs close to the giants causeway, Donegal which has amazing scenery and beaches but the weather isn't always the hottest! And most importantly the Derry girls are the hottest in Ireland, fact |

hire a car and you're free as a bird! So much easier then waiting on buses! |

If its archeology u seek check out www.duchasnasionna for the Clare area flying into Shannon traveling to Galway the area is littered with castles,ring,forts,burial sites and the unique landscape of the burden however a car is a must to meander around the roads of this beautiful place
happy travels
plus u never know u may find a auld lad to make it a happy swinging archeological exploration |

Thanks all. I've certainly realised a car is a must so I'll need to factor that in, also been told about an airport called Knock where I can fly directly into from Leeds
Re the weather in June,- I'll keep my fingers crossed but then the North of England never gets the best weather either |

One hours drive from Dublin Airport you will find the beautiful Cooley mountains with the most scenic village and lough in Ireland called Carlingford, home off Ferdia and Cuchullian. On the the other side of the lough is the stunning mountains of Mourne. |

If you are looking for somewhere to stay when in dublin, malahide is well worth thinking about.
its ten minutes from the airport.
It has loads of restaurants and bars but its best quality is it still has a village feel about it.
Ireland has some many great places to visit.
i hope you have a great visit |
