[THREAD] Irish #staycation inspiration –– we're constantly asked "any recs for X" or "have you a guide for Y" so we're gonna put out a thread of all our Ireland content for you to bookmark, share, add to a map and go explore the Emerald Isle a bit more...

First, one of our favourite and most-clicked destination guides: #Dingle, Co. Kerry –– a spot lots are holidaying in already this summer or planning to visit closer to Autumn. http://bit.ly/D1ngl
Next, Inis Mór, the largest of the #AranIslands off the coasts of Galway and Clare –– everything you need to see, do and eat and drink on an island getaway surrounded by the roaring Atlantic Ocean https://gastrogays.com/inis-mor-aran-islands-tastetheisland/
How about #Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh? The historic former island fortress is a popular stop en route to the North West and comes appointed with castles, railway museums and the wonderful @BoatyardDistill and @LoughErneResort just outside the town https://gastrogays.com/enniskillen-guide/
Got a campervan or fancy a food-led road trip right 'round #Ireland?

Likewise, gin distilleries are dotted 'round the country (with new ones cropping up often!)
A few are back open for tours or visits post-lockdown, so we've tried to list and map the gin distilleries (actually distilling on-site) across #Ireland

A slight bit outdated (wrote this 4 years ago and spent a LOT of time in Cork since) so this needs a refresh but if you're heading to ROI's second city, #Cork, here's a start, incl:
The English Market, The Shandon Bells, Cobh, Fota, Potato Pies, Tanora! http://bit.ly/Corcaigh

Taste your way around #Galway –– the incomparable Sheena Dignam runs @GalwayFoodTours with a small team and it's well worth bookmarking for your next trip to the City of Tribes! https://gastrogays.com/galway-food-tours/
While we have you... #Galway is a wonderful city to explore, this is another Irish city guide that needs a refresh (originally from 2017) but it's a start if you're heading West http://bit.ly/GLway48
Now to #Dublin, and the most recent trip we've taken (last week) was as guests of @TheWestinDublin –– and here's what we found in arguably Dublin's most central and luxurious address: https://gastrogays.com/stay-here-the-westin-dublin/
Eat your way around the capital!
A #Dublin city #staycation is a great excuse for long, leisurely brunches or lingering lunches –– here are some of the city's best #brunch dishes (note: from 2018, some still not re-opened or take-away only due to C-19)

Ever been to @Ballymaloe? Take a peek at a recent stay (just before C-19 hit; now happily back open) at this Irish country house with the most phenomenal reputation for hospitality and that iconic #Ballymaloe restaurant –– part of @IrelandBlueBook, too! https://gastrogays.com/stay-ballymaloe-house/
Another iconic address, right on Stephen's Green, @theshelbourne is fresh from a lavish renovation and ripe for a #Dublin city #staycation –– we stayed last year and what a gorgeous hotel to experience...
