Ireland

Overview If you've got a first date with Ireland lined up then you won't be disappointed; this wholesome country ticks all the rights boxes in terms of its physical attractiveness and the mental stimulation that it offers.

Ireland's features are truly striking. The strong jutting jaw-line of rocks defining the coastline contrast with soft, pretty beaches. The blossoming green countryside is so booming and healthy that you'll want to stare longingly at it all day. Plenty of stamina will of course be necessary if you want to enjoy Ireland's beauty fully; cycling, walking and water sports are all popular ways to make the most of it.
