Are you looking for the perfect backdrop for a romantic proposal? Well Ireland has it all when it comes to stunning views. Here are our top five picks for the most amazing views in Ireland.

1. Mizen Head, Co. Cork



Mizen Head is Ireland’s most south westerly point and the coastal formations at the cliffs offer an absolutely sensational view, no matter what the weather. The award-winning Mizen Head Irish Lights Signal Station is a must-see particularly for those brave enough to cross the iconic bridge high above the gorge, where sometimes its possible to spot seals, dolphins or even whales.

2. Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare



The reason that the views from the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland’s beautiful Co. Clare are so spectacular is that on a clear day it is possible to see the Aran Islands and Galway Bay and as far as the Twelve Pins and the Maum Turk mountains in Connemara. What’s more is that it is also possible to see Loop Head to the south and even the Dingle Peninsula and the Blasket Islands in Kerry.  Standing 214 m high, the cliffs stretch for 8 kilometers and are a must-see when visiting Ireland.

3. Slea Head, Co. Kerry

Described by National Geographic as “the most beautiful place on earth”, the Dingle Peninsula is one of the most archaeologically important places in Ireland with relics from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Ecclesiastical period. The views from the Slea Head Drive are quite simply breathtaking with green fields, staggering cliff edges and some of the best beaches in Ireland. “The next parish to America”, the Blasket Islands, can be seen from this drive and visited and the Irish language is freely spoken as this is a Gaeltacht area.

4. The Giants Causeway, Co. Antrim



Instagram fans will be spoiled for choice in capturing great, shareable images here, a place that has been marveled at for centuries. Half a million tourists now visit the Giants Causeway every year to see the unique rock formations and columns from a bygone volcanic age. This amazing place is like going back in time by 60 million years and this natural phenomenon is unmissable. Highlights are the Chimney Stacks, the Harp, The Organ and The Camel’s Hump.

5. Malin Head, Co. Donegal



The most northerly point of Ireland, the Inishowen Peninsula in Co. Donegal also offers some of the most spectacular views in Ireland. Malin Head has unbeatable coastal scenery and one of the best places to view from is the stunning stone ring fort called Grianan of Aileach (Fortress of the Sun) at Burt. This is the site of the original 1700 BC ringfort standing 735 feet above sea level and on a clear day there are views over Lough Swilly, Inch Island and across six counties. It is thought that St Patrick visited the site in the 5th century and baptised the local chieftain, Eoghan, from whom Inis Eoghan / Inisowen gets its name.

For amazing views, Ireland is unbeatable, with surprises around every corner.
