About Ireland Spots

Ireland Spots is an independent travel and discovery publication about Ireland. We write honest, practical guides for people actually planning a visit — what's worth doing, what's free, what's quiet, and what's worth skipping — rather than content built to game search results.

What you'll find here

Destination guides organised around real trip planning: things to do, free activities, hidden gems, day trips, food and drink, and practical logistics like getting around without a car. Alongside the destination guides, our events calendar covers confirmed festivals, sport fixtures and seasonal happenings, each linked to an official source.

Editorial approach

• We don't publish fake reviews, fake visits, fake quotes or invented facts.
• Practical details — prices, opening arrangements, transport, booking requirements — are checked against official sources before publishing, and articles that rely on them link to the source used and note when it was last checked.
• We don't claim to have personally visited a place unless we actually have. Most articles are researched and fact-checked rather than based on a first-hand visit, and we say so rather than imply otherwise.

How we research

Facts are verified against official tourism bodies, the attraction or venue's own website, local authorities, transport operators, and official event or festival sources — not aggregated from other travel blogs. Where a detail can change (a price, an opening hour, an event date), we either link directly to the official source instead of printing a figure that will go stale, or note the date it was last verified.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we correct it and update the article's “last updated” date — see our Editorial Policy for how that works. If you spot an error, the fastest way to reach us is our Contact page.

Independence and transparency

Ireland Spots is editorially independent and is not affiliated with any government tourism body, attraction, or business we write about. We do not currently carry sponsored content or affiliate links; if that changes, any sponsored or affiliate relationship will be clearly disclosed on the relevant page.
