And we love it to bloody pieces!
These days more and more of us are opting to stay on the homeland and discover more of our own country, and boy oh boy does it have a lot to offer.
Let's be honest, we all say we'll take on the auld "digital detox" whilst exploring the wesht, but once you set eyes on the unreal scenery, you can't help but lash it up on social media. Why not? How else will we show off our deadly little island to everyone else?
It was a mean feat, but we managed to find our favourite Instagrammable spots along this beautiful stretch along the West.
Sitting at an impressive 751 metres, Errigal is the tallest peak in the Derryveagh Mountains and in Donegal itself.
Dubbed the "Seven Sisters" by locals, it's well known for the pinkish glow of the quartzite in the setting sun - the perfect photo op if you ask us.
Fun fact: Enya has used this stunning spot in loads of her music videos.
This freshwater lake has a lot - not only will you see magnificent wildlife on its shores, you can also visit the Glencar Waterfall for some serious Insta-worthy shots.
W.B Yeats himself would visit this waterfall and pen his meanderings on fairies and changelings of Irish folklore. Safe to say he was inspired by this scenic spot and we've no doubt you'll be too.
Known as Sligo's 'Table Mountain', this impressive landmark was formed as a result of the different responses to erosion of the limestone and shale of which the mountain is formed - bit of science there for ya!
It's pretty mad to think this was formed during the Ice Age, almost 320 million years ago. Craaazzyyy.
This little beaut of a bay is just past Dooagh village in the west of Achill Island and is officially one of the most westerly points in Europe. Deffo worth the journey, your Insta feed will thank us.
With a beautifully sandy beach, this perfect horseshoe bay is flanked by dramatic cliffs and has ridiculously clear waters.
We’ve blended 3 hops and 4 malts to create Archway, a lager that’s exceptional in both substance and flavour.
Crafted at the award-winning Franciscan Well brewery in Cork, Archway is perfect for lovers of great beer experiences, its beautifully balanced, accessible but distinctive and immediately fulfilling from that first, smooth sip.
Crisp, Distinctive, Satisfying.
Come on. Step through the Archway.
Now available nationwide on draught and 330ml cans. Visit drinkaware.ie
