The Republic of Ireland is also surrounded by small islands such as the Aran Islands.

 

5- Enter the Dark Hedges

The Dark Hedges is a road surrounded by beech trees which form an atmospheric tunnel. According to the legend, the hedges are visited by a ghost called Grey Lady, she could be the ghost of a maid from a nearby house who died in mysterious circumstances but this is not certain. The road now is mainly famous for having been a filming location for the Games of Thrones TV series.
