Hello James,
you must head out west to Galway, and its Connemara region, especially Letterfrack, to Clifden, WoW! this area is a must and plenty of places to stay over and eat and enjoy the sights, sounds and life there abouts, Irish is a very common language there, but they mostly do speak English too. If you are friendly to those people, they are going to be friendly right back, and the Criac ( fun and music) is almost on tap, just turn it on with the rest. at Clifden you are on the coast and the water you see is the Atlantic, and if you look out across it wave at New York and Boston, there are a lot of Irish people there too...
Buy yourself a local guide and follow the advice contained in it, a few miles from Letterfrack is a place called Kylemore Abbey, and it is rife with tourists, and will povide a lot of all you need for reasonable prices, transport and passing motorists is plentiful, and hitching a ride won't cost you a cent. I do hope you have fun and a very exciting holiday. If you manage to get to Gort in south County Galway, call in to see my folks and tell them I am alright in England and I will be home in early August for the Galway Races...... Bye for now,............Tony M |

Go to the west Cork, Kerry and Galway, stay out of the main cities and try head for remote villages. Yes I hope they will be friendly to English backpackers (I'm irish) though once you are in the west they treat dubliners and foreigners all alike! Some town I recommend are Clonakilty, Kenmare, Kinsale ..... have a lovely trip. |
