We've teamed up with Fuze tea to uncover 5-places you can get a little 'me-time' this Summer!
Ours is a mystical land... Full of concealed charm and effortless grace.
Each and every year, tourists travel in their Tens-of-thousands to experience the majesty of the Emerald Isle first hand.
Boyne Valley... The Ring of Kerry, The Cliffs of Moher, Giant's Causeway just a few among the many famous Irish locations that keep the crowds rolling in.
However, sometimes you just want to escape to a place relatively untouched by human hands.
Somewhere you don’t have to pay for parking... Where there’s no gift shops or snack bars... And you don't have to jostle for position against an army of tourists.
Somewhere where it’s just you, and the natural beauty of Ireland.
So with the glorious days of Summer finally upon us, we thought we’d give you a hand... and let you in on some of the Country’s best kept secrets.
Here are, 5-Secret Summer Irish hideouts you have to visit this year, brought to you by Fuze tea:
1. Luminous Night Kayacking, Lough Hyne, Co. Cork
Something a little different, that looks absolutely amazing.
This night kayaking activity lets you paddle your way through scenic Lough Hyne, while the water is lit-up by bio-luminescent plankton...
The water sparkles each time you put your paddle into the water, incredible!
It’s been described as something out of the hit film Avatar. This is a MUST.
2. Birr Castle, Co. Offaly
Built by the third Earl of Ross in the 1840s; Birr Castle was the largest in the world for 70 years!
It’s also home to some of the most amazing gardens in the country.
Along with stunning parkland, thousands of rare trees and plants from all over the world, rivers, a lake, and waterfalls.
An absolute gem of Offaly!
3. Dog’s Bay, Co. Galway
The turquoise waters of Dog’s Bay in Roundstone, Galway, speak for themselves...
If you’re lucky enough to get a day where the sun is shining, this beach can match the rugged beauty of any around the globe.
Oh, and just a tip... A seafood chowder and pint of Guinness in nearby O’Dowds seafood bar is apparently to die for!
4. Pine Island, Connemara, Co. Galway
Gorgeous.
The only word that can be used to describe Pine Island in Galway’s Connemara national park...
If you’re after some clean crisp countryside air, coupled with breathtaking views and the kind of serenity you can’t manufacture...
Then Pine Island is the perfect spot for you.
5. Stairway to Heaven, Co. Fermanagh
This one’s for those who love getting active during their leisure time.
The ‘Stairway to Heaven’ walk as it’s been dubbed in Co. Fermanagh is the perfect mix of breath-taking views and endorphin pumping exercise.
At 665-metres above sea level, you’re sure to take some awe-inspiring pics when you reach the top, along with a great sense of satisfaction!
There you have it! Fuzetea’s Five-hidden Irish gems you MUST check out this summer!
Lets just hope the weather gods keep smiling down on us so we can get to all of them.
