Outside of the biggest cities, Ireland is a place of neighboring town and country regions. Each has its own charms, breathtaking scenery, architecture, decoration, and soul. Farms and fields provide food. Lovely town streets are lined with boutique shops, small hotels, and historic pubs and cafes. Irish Gaelic is spoken often in everyday life.

These town and country regions of Ireland are great places to explore. During my trip this past autumn, I spent a night or two in the following Irish towns (as pictured in the accompanying video:) Trim, Doolin, Kenmare, and Dingle Town. Each one had minimal crowds, beautiful scenery, and wonderful people. See these or choose your own favorite town and country regions the next time you visit Ireland.
