    Default Discovering Ireland.



    From a popular viewpoint on Howth Head overlooking Dublin Bay.

    There are a great many beautifull and famous landscapes all over Ireland both coastal and inland.

    This is a thread where you might like to share your snaps, photographs and your travel in #Ireland stories for all to enjoy?

    Some of our modest snaps hark back to the mid 1960s!

    A little more atmosphere.

    One lunctime as we sat viewing the same scene it turned all purplish as clouds arrived over Wicklow.

    As I haven't yet got enough posts to post attachments maybe a moderator would post these beautiful photos of Sruwaddacon & Broadhaven Bay, Glengad, Erris, County Mayo for me? Thanks.

    Good one. :-) I wasn't much of a drinker back then in the early 1970s. Must have driven past that pub dozens of times. On our annual two week holidays from Manchester!

    We stayed in the Frosses where one side of the village diid not speak to the other side.

    (It was the graveyard!)

    I did get locked into the local pub one night. :-) Staggered to bed 3am.

    Went to the College in Teileann in the early 80s and went back to camp there later.

    Know the Frosses well too, have a close relation born and bred there. (No, not Mary C)

    Drove through there a few summers back and there was traffic congestion which was slow but orderly. I couldn't figure out how it was flowing so smoothly until I got up close and there was a Guard directing it from behind a wall on one side of the street, (opposite the church) smoking a pipe. Priceless.

    :-) Thanks Sintheface, It's a small world in huge Donegal.

    Haven't been back to the Frosses for decades. But do visit here fairly often.



    Mount Errigal not too far from Leo's Pub where Enya and her family lived. Delicious meals served there. Some nice music memorabilia to gawk at.

    Register with a picture host like photobucket.com and place the photo there then you will be provided with an image url to click on, and then place here.
