Although small in area, Ireland has an
array of natural wonders like no other country. From the massive rock
formations to the tallest precipices in Europe, there are many majestic things
that would make you skip a heartbeat. The Ring of Kerry is renowned for its
scintillating beauty and places like Connemara and the Dingle Peninsula never
fail to give you a heavenly experience.

At your very first sight of it, you
will start feeling that this other worldly beauty of Causeway can’t be a
natural feature. The tremendous region of consistent, nearly placed, hexagonal
stone columns plunging tenderly underneath the waves seems like the artistic
work of a giant.
It is Ireland’s only UNESCO World
Heritage Site and undoubtedly one of Europe’s most picturesque natural
landscapes.
Cliffs of Moher

One of Ireland's most popular sights,
the Cliffs of Moher climb to a tallness of 203m. They are totally vertical and
the cliff edge is sharp. Where access is allowed there's an ensuring divider.
On a sunny morning the views are panoramic, with the Aran Islands scratched on
the waters of Galway Bay.
The sound of waves colliding with the
sandstones and delicate shales is audible from the cliff’s edges.

The Ring of Kerry is the longest and
the most differing of Ireland's enormous circle drives, joining stunning
waterfront views with emerald pastures and towns.
The 179km circuit stretches along the
perfect shorelines, the island-dabbed Atlantic, medieval remains, hills and lakes.
In the south-western peninsula, the coast line gets rocky in between the
Waterville and Caherdaniel.
Slieve League

The Cliffs of Moher get more exposure,
however the bluffs of Slieve League are higher. Truth be told, these
breathtaking polychrome precipices are thought to be the most elevated in
Europe, despite the fact that they're not vertical yet they climb almost 600 m
over the ocean. Looking down, you'll see two rocks nicknamed the 'school desk
and chair' for reasons that are self-explanatory.
Mourne Mountains

The curved-back granite slopes of the
Mourne Mountains rule the skyline as you travel south from Belfast towards
Newcastle. This is a standout amongst the most excellent corners of Northern
Ireland, with a different scene of dark rock, yellow gorse and whitewashed
houses, the lower inclines of the slopes latticed with a flawless interwoven of
drystone dividers cobbled together from massive, round-shaped boulder stones.
Dingle Peninsula

In contrast to the Ring of Kerry,
where the bluffs have a tendency to rule the sea, it’s the sea that commands
the little Dingle Peninsula. The opal-blue waters encompassing the projection’s
green slopes and brilliant sands lay the foundation of water adventures and to
draggers that pull in fish that shows up on the menus of the area's finest
restaurants.
Connemara Peninsula

The filigreed bank of the Connemara
Peninsula is unendingly satisfying, with pockets of sheer enjoyment
anticipating revelation.
Connemara's inside is a collage of
corroded swamps, forlorn valleys and gleaming dark lakes. At its heart are the
Maumturk Mountains and the pewter-tinged quartzite crests of the Twelve Bens
mountain range, with a system of beautiful trekking and biking trails. All over
the area is bound by stone dividers you're happy you didn't need to assemble.
It's amazing whatever might be the time of the day, but in particular when the
sky and waters shimmer blue, the slopes sparkle green and brilliant yellow spreads
out.
