You won’t find a better town in all of Ireland. A close-knit community that takes travelers, walkers, and long-lost cousins into its heart and shows you the soul of rural Ireland. The walking trails take you through the wide variety of flora and fauna, and the views (and accompanying stories) will take your breath away. Stop at Kinnane’s…or Murray’s…or Ryan’s for a pint or two, a song or two, and the wonderful locals.
I’ve visited most of the island, but when I return it will be to Upperchurch-Drombane. Home away from home!
