🍀Pictures that transport you to Ireland 🇮🇪

What do you think? Do any of these photos give you a window into Ireland?

1. Livestock traders drink beer outside the only pub on Inishmaan, one of the Aran Islands in Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland. This photo appeared in a 1971 National Geographic article.

2. A man carves out peat, a traditional fuel, in the town of Derryerglinna in the early 1990s. Today only 4% of homes use peat as their primary source of heating.

3. These headlands, called the Three Sisters, jut into the sea in the Di**le Peninsula near Smerwick.

4. Friends gather around a pony behind a Dublin home in this 1994 National Geographic cover photo.

5. Teenagers pass the time playing with a dog on a stonewall near their home in Connemara.

Exploring the west on these windy roads 🗺️

Ireland Travel Club shared a post on Instagram: "Lovely memories driving through the west.

There’s always time for ice cream on tour! 🍦

We always recommend a stop in to Murphys Ice Cream to try our two favorite flavors that you don’t usually find anywhere else: brown bread, and sea salt!

The ice cream here is hand made in Di**le, and the milk comes from a rare, indigenous breed of Kerry cow. 🐮

📍The Blasket Islands ☀️

They are deserted now, but they weren’t always.

The islands were inhabited until 1954 by a completely Irish-speaking population and today are part of the Gaeltacht. At peak, the islands had 175 residents, which is hard to imagine now. The population declined to 22 by 1953.

The government evacuated most of the remaining residents to the mainland on 17 November 1953 because of increasingly extreme winter weather that left the islanders cut off from emergency services.

Take a moment to enjoy some poetic beauty. A little inspiration from afar is what we all need during these times. So sit back, relax, and ...
