West Coast of Ireland

Hello all

My wife and I are flying into Knock and spending next Valentines night in Galway, we then have two more nights and I was wondering where else is worth a stay. We are hiring a car so therefore transport would not be an issue.

Thanks

Firstly: Bring a raincoat! Umbrellas are useless in the galway winds

there's a lot to do... would recommend a drive through Commemara ..... details here:

Just wander around Mayo, the countryside is wonderful. The largely unknown area around Lough Cara is worth stopping off for. Then there is Westport, and less touristy Newport.
