Connemara Marble Factory, County Galway<\/strong><\/h3>\n

His final resting place is Drumcliff Parish Church, set in the shadow of the majestic Benbulben Mountain. The small hamlet is home to a handful of visitor attractions but it’s the raw beauty of the surroundings and historical church that make it a great spot to check out.<\/p>\n

Waterville, County Kerry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"The Ring of Kerry may be a tourist hotspot but this small-but-scenic village is a must-visit. Sitting between Lough Currane and Ballinskelligs Bay, you can see where Waterville takes its aquatic-inspired name from. Undulating green hills roll down to tranquil watersides offering the most spectacular views. Of course, it’s a great destination for fishing, exploring local archaeology and simply wandering through the picturesque village itself.<\/p>\n
