You will definitely want to make a few stops and perhaps even enjoy a picnic together.

Everything about Kerry is sensational. Even the county capital, Tralee, is a tranquil place to base yourself and explore all of the surrounding wonders. You could even stop by the Siamsa Tire National Folk Theatre to catch an evening show for something unique and different.

Revelling in the lack of crowds, you can spend your time following the trail through the Clare Glens, a vast magical area of secret waterfalls and sandstone gorges located on the boundary of Co Tipperary and Co Limerick.

Have your own leap year moment in County Wicklow

You don’t need to wait for a “Leap Year” to escape to County Wicklow near Dublin, where the film Leap Year was based, it is a lovely location for a romantic get-away. County Wicklow is known for its mixture of mountains, coastline and the Wicklow way.
