next august im going with my child (11 years) to Irland. give me the places interesting to see... please?

Answer 1

I would recommend all of the Munster counties.I would recommend dingle in Kerry.You can take a boat ride and see their most famous local which happens to be a dolphin called fungi.You can go to Blarney castle in Cork and kiss the Blarney stone.You can go to Clare and take a drive through the Burren,go to the cliffs of Mohor and go to the Alawee caves.You can go horse trail in Killarney in Co kerry.You can do a day trail or one that goes for a night or two.There is so much to do and see in Ireland.It all comes down to personal choice.I hope that where ever you decide to go that you have a memorable time.

Answer 2

Hello Ana,
assuming the child is a boy, you might like to try my part of the country and visit Ailwee Caves, and the Cliffs of Moher in the County Clare, very interesting for a child of 11, there is a guided tour of the Caves, and the views and strength of the Atlantic Oceans waves thrashing Irelands coast from 600 feet below the Cliffs is absolutely amazing..
There is also plenty of other attractions to occupy a boys enquiring mind in my home city of Galway, and a local guide can be readily obtained from bord failte.com there is plenty of stuff for both himself and yourself too, but a week in August is not hardly enough time to take it all in. also, there is plenty of public transport top get you both about, plus car hire too...enjoy your holiday.....'bye,........Tony M
