Take a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top tourist attractions and are visited by almost a million people annually. The highest point is about 214 metres, and the cliffs stretch eight kilometres along the Atlantic ocean. If you happen to be a Harry Potter fanatic, you might be excited to know that one of the scenes from the sixth movie in the Harry Potter franchise was filmed at the Cliffs of Moher. Many have attempted to describe the location's beauty, but it is hard to do it justice with mere words. Experiencing the area in person is truly something else, and therefore, we advise taking a day trip to the ruggedly beautiful cliffs and walking along the trail to experience the true, raw power of nature at its peak. After a long day filled with beautiful views and long walks, come home to a lovely Belvilla holiday stay and relax with a calming cup of tea.

Killarney National Park is another one of Ireland's most popular tourist attractions. For nature lovers, this place is a veritable garden of Eden. Killarney National Park, located in County Kerry, is home to Ireland's highest mountain range, shining blue lakes, medieval castles and cascading waterfalls. Let your adventurous spirit run loose here and discover the park by bike. Cycle over to Ross Castle, a regal structure standing for over 500 years, or take a ramble up to Torc Waterfall and allow yourself to get lost in the sounds of wildlife and flowing water. At the Killarney border, explore Ireland's most scenic route, the Ring of Kerry, and perhaps partake in water sports along its pristine beaches. After all the adventure, treat yourself to some tasty bites and have lunch in one of Killarney town's many excellent restaurants. And when you're done for the day, retreat to your pleasant Belvilla home and soak in a lovely, warm bath.
