The day we visited the Cliffs Of Moher, it was foggy, stormy, and moody.Īll the more perfect for seeing the location made famous in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince when Dumbledore and Harry head off to find one of the Horcruxes in that creepy cave with the water demon people. You will soon find in Ireland that the weather changes not by the day but by the hour. Stay: Nearby Waterville is a super cute village, and Butler Arms is the sweetest hotel with a really nice fancy pub attached.


Even non-fans will enjoy the trip since you’re likely to see wildlife like puffins (!!!) and seals, plus the stone structures are just damn cool on their own, even if they weren’t in a famous film. It’s accessible by boat from Portmagee (great name) with companies like Skellig Michael Cruises, which will take you around the island and/or for a walk up to the monastery where they filmed Star Wars. That’s actually Skellig Michael, a jagged-looking island with an ancient monastery on it in County Kerry, on the Wild Atlantic Way. Remember at the end of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, when Rey choofs off to find her dad (? I’ve forgotten the entire plot of those films) Luke Skywalker, and he’s being all emo up on a weird-looking, yet very picturesque, remote cliff? If you’re planning a visit to the Emerald Isle, factor these locations into your drives – they’re worth it, trust me. But let’s not forget everyone’s favourite lockdown series, Normal People, or the best teen comedy in yonks, Derry Girls. Yes, this story is going to cover all the Game Of Thrones sites you nerds crave (I say “you nerds” while also being one of “you nerds”), plus some good shit for the Star Wars and Harry Potter fans.
