Ireland: A Journey Through Wicklow, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, and Dublin

Send us Fan MailIreland Trip Recap: Wicklow, Donegal, Galway, Kerry (Dingle) & Dublin | Ratings, Hikes, Food & Would We Move Here?Brittany and Josh recap their two-week Ireland trip, saying it exceeded expectations for beauty and highlighting stops in Laragh/Wicklow Mountains (scenic hike), Teelin/County Donegal (Slieve League cliffs), a night at Lough Rynn Castle (notable dinner), Clifden (a difficult and dangerous hike), Dingle (Dingle Distillery and favorite town), and Dublin (major foodie hotspot). They compare Ireland’s beauty to Scotland but felt a stronger emotional connection to Scotland, with Dingle coming closest. They wish they had more time to add Northern Ireland and more of Ireland overall, and they learned the value of public transit alongside driving and that they can do hard hikes. They rate: food ~7/10, alcohol 10/10, coffee/social ~7.2–7.5, walkability/transit ~5–6, affordability ~5–6, relocation difficulty ~4–5, pace/wellness ~8–8.5, and nature/beauty 10/10. They would visit again but wouldn’t move there now.00:00 Ireland Trip Recap02:08 Favorite Moments03:22 Scotland Comparison05:33 What We'd Change07:48 Lessons Learned11:45 Food Ratings12:59 Best Bites14:32 Guinness And Whiskey15:36 Whiskey And Beer Rating16:11 Coffee Scene And Favorites18:25 Walkability And Transit19:58 Affordability Breakdown21:01 Relocation Reality Check22:58 Pace Wellness Culture24:50 Nature Beauty Highlights26:06 Travel Advice And FOMO28:18 Would We Move Here29:46 Wrap Up And Next Episode@WSMHtravels
