The Perfect Guide to Caravanning Around Ireland

There are very few destinations around the world that offer the scenic beauty of Ireland and with so many stunning locations and places of interest around the country, it is the perfect choice for exploring by caravan.

Ireland became known as the Emerald Isle because of the vast amount of greenery, with rolling hills and plenty of annual rainfall to produce lush green grass and vegetation. Another reason Ireland is considered to be one of the world’s most picturesque countries is due to the dramatic coastlines, which are often used in film scenes.

If you are planning a caravanning adventure to Ireland, make sure you include some of the following places in your itinerary:

Giants Causeway (Northern Ireland)

Giants Causeway is an area of approximately 40,000 interlocking basalt columns and is a very impressive place to visit, situated on the north Antrim Coast. The area has been featured in a number of films but many people will recognise it as a filming location for Game of Thrones.

Cliffs of Moher

Another very popular coastal point to visit in Ireland is the Cliffs of Moher, with dramatic views of the cliff edges and spectacular views across the North Atlantic Ocean. Visiting the cliffs at sunset on a clear day is highly recommended.
