You and your spouse may catch up with your favorite movie stars in the county, as the place has been a choice location for several blockbuster movies, including ‘The Vikings.’

2. Dingle Harbor Town, County Kerry

Rugged sceneries, long trails, and sandy beaches; these words describe the small port town on Dingle’s Southwest Peninsula. Boredom has no place in this part of Ireland. Walk along beaches, spend time in the beehive huts, eat local dishes, and feel the magic of the Irish traditional music in pub crawls. These are only a few of many things that would keep you and your heartthrob in Neverland.

Meanwhile, you can also learn about the origins of some sports like falconry if you’re up for it. This location alienates you from the noise and gives you time for romance.

Have the endless chatters as you walk hand-in-hand with your partner up Slieve Foye, watch or join the ferries as they sail across Carlingford Lough, and swim in the water by the pier. Honeymooners cannot be disappointed making the call for this spot.
