Top things to do in Ireland
"This fortified Augustinian monastery is the best sort of ruin, where you can amble around whenever you like, with no tour guides, set hours or fees. Most days you stand a chance of exploring the site alone (apart from some nosy sheep); at dusk with a clear sky the old priory is simply beautiful. The ruins are 500m east of Kells on the Stoneyford road; from the car park, head to the right of the walls to find the main entrance."

"For an authentic old world atmosphere, J&K Walsh Victorian Pub and Grocers is a must-see on O’Connell Street. Check out the old wooden cabinets, brass scales and spice drawers, unchanged since 1899 when the place opened. This is one of Ireland’s finest intact examples, packed with original Victorian features."

Mentioned by Lonely Planet Top Choices
Top things to do in Ireland
"One of Ireland’s finest Cistercian ruins, Jerpoint Abbey was established in the 12th century, with the tower and cloister dating from the late-14th or early-15th century. It is famous for its unusually large number of medieval stone carvings – look for the series of unusual and often amusing figures, both human and animal, carved on the pillars around the cloister. The abbey enjoys a lovely rural setting about 2.5km southwest of Thomastown on the N9."

"An intimate coffee house just off the main street, it’s serving up some of Waterford’s finest coffee, teas and chai!. I tried a delicious chai latte with soy milk. It was well balanced, not too sweet as I usually find them but just right with the perfect amount of spice."

"Metalman bar opened in December 2017 and is located at 15 The Quay Waterford. It serves Metalman beer but it also serves other beers from independent brewery’s, gins, whiskeys & other drinks too so it is fair to say that it satisfies all tastes. The bar has a different beer of the day every day on special offer."
