25 Hidden Gems of Ireland: Free Travel Guide

25 Hidden Gems of Ireland

The places the guidebooks miss — yours free.

We’ve spent years tracking down the Ireland that most visitors never find. Not the Cliffs of Moher. Not the Ring of Kerry. The hidden valley with no car park, the sea stack with ruins on top, the moonscape that blooms in wildflowers, the pub where Ireland’s greatest traditional musicians play on a Tuesday night.

This 28-page guide is completely free. No email required. Just click and download.


What’s Inside

Malin Head, Donegal — Ireland’s most northerly secret, where you can see Scotland on a clear day

Dún Briste, Mayo — An impossible sea stack with ancient ruins on top, cut off from the mainland in 1393

Skellig Michael — 618 stone steps to a 6th-century monastery 214 metres above the Atlantic

Lough Hyne, Cork — Europe’s first Marine Nature Reserve, where the water glows at night in summer

The Burren, Clare — A limestone moonscape where Arctic, Mediterranean, and Alpine wildflowers grow side by side

Glenveagh, Donegal — Ireland’s forgotten wilderness, 170 sq km of mountain and lough with golden eagles overhead

Clonmacnoise, Offaly — Where Irish monks preserved civilisation while darkness fell across Europe

Benbulben, Sligo — The mountain Yeats wanted to be buried under, rising like a presence from the plain

Inis Mór, Aran Islands — A prehistoric stone fort on the edge of a 100m cliff, with the Atlantic below

Slea Head Drive, Kerry — The last land Irish emigrants saw as they sailed away forever

Plus 15 more places that will change the way you see Ireland.
