Ireland: It's at the top of my Travel Bucket List

Take 1 part Ireland, add 10 parts Movies set in Ireland and we have all the makings for a fun travel itinerary.

I often spend years planning and replanning in my head trips to the destinations on my travel bucket list. What attractions will I go to and sights will I see? Much of what I know or imagine a destination will look and feel like is based on movies and shows set or filmed there. For that reason I love the idea of a travel itinerary based on some of the locations of movies that help to put that destination on my bucket list in the first place. 

Ireland is at the top of this list, for it's charm, history, beautiful landscape, not to mention the dreamy accent. Below are some of my favourites that rekindle my urge to go to Ireland each time I watch them.

Dublin:

• Life's A Breeze: Dublin & Maynooth (County Kildare)
• Standby: Dublin
• About Adam: (aka All About Adam): Dublin
• Educating Rita: Set in Liverpool but filmed in large part in Dublin

County Wicklow:

• P.S. I Love You: Bray, Glendalough, Enniskerry, Lacken Village & Dublin
• Love, Rosie: County Wicklow & Dublin

County Galway:

• Leap Year: Connemaroo, Aran Island & Maynooth (County Kildare)
• The MatchMaker: Aran Island, Roundstone

County Kerry:
