Natural wonders of Ireland: TOP-5 places

The Emerald Isle is one of those unique places where ancient myths are closely intertwined with reality. The Irish land keeps secrets from the history of the Celts and impresses with legends about the gnomes. Among the country's picturesque landscapes, many interesting natural attractions are shrouded in myths and actual historical facts. Below are five of Ireland's most beautiful and unique places to see.

Rocks of Moher 

The majestic Cliffs of Moher are Ireland's most visited natural wonder, and it's no coincidence. The vast cliffs, from the view of which are breathtaking, rise to 214 m and stretch for 8 km along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
When visiting this place, you should climb to the top of Brian's Tower to admire the multicoloured squares of fields and foggy haze in the distance on the Atlantic from its height. A trip to Ireland would be incomplete without this incredible view.

Giants road

This natural attraction in Ireland deserves the attention of all geologists and adventure seekers, connoisseurs of mysticism and fans of Led Zeppelin. Founded due to ancient volcanic activity, the Giant's Causeway consists of about 40 thousand basalt hexagonal columns that rise almost 12 meters above the ocean. Walking through this mystical place in Ireland, you should admire the Giant's Shoes, Organ, Chimneys and other unique rock formations.

Ring Gallion 

This picturesque mountainous area is a unique geological formation almost 40 million years old. When visiting this region of Ireland, you can admire the beautiful landscapes and plunge into various adventures.
Horseback riding, hiking and swimming in the refreshing lake waters are available here. As in most of Ireland, the region has many ancient castles and temples. For history buffs, this area is a natural paradise. Archaeologists constantly find unique ancient relics here and discover previously unknown tombs.

Slive League

Although not as famous as the Cliffs of Moher, these Irish coastal cliffs are nearly 3 times their height and provide an even more mesmerizing sight. Slive Lig is a mountain range, rising to 609 m and consisting of cliffs and rocks. On a fine day, you should climb their peaks and walk through the archaeological sites.
There are much fewer tourists here than near the cliffs of Moher. At the cliffs' foot is a cosy family cafe where you can taste classic Irish dishes and buy cute handmade souvenirs.

Carantuill

Situated in the vastness of County Kerry in the southwest of the island, the majestic Mount Carantuill forms an impressive Irish landscape. Rising 1038 m, this summit represents the highest point in Ireland. Climbing is usually carried out along the "Devil's Staircase" route on the northeastern slope.
Various excursion offers can be found with hikes to Carantuillus Summit under the guidance of an experienced guide. These tours include visits to Celtic burial sites older than the Egyptian pyramids. In clear weather, Carantuill offers impressive views of the surrounding area.
