Are you popping the question this autumn? Ireland’s beautiful geographical treasures mean that you can make your proposal even more special with an amazing backdrop whether it’s a bridge, castle, cliff or even a cave.
Here are some beautiful Irish locations that provide the perfect location to get down on one knee...
A Chapel
The Chapel at Whitefriar Street Church, Dublin is no ordinary chapel. There is a shrine to Saint Valentine, so it is a favorite of couples in love and a great place to propose. The Church at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Whitefriar Street is a magical place in the heart of Dublin City.
A Cave
Many people overlook the magical Doolin Cave, County Clare and head for the equally impressive Aillwee Caves nearby. However Doolin Cave is one of the most unique natural visitor attractions in the world. It actually is home to the longest free hanging stalactite in the Northern Hemisphere. Why not wait until the big reveal after the 45-minute journey through the limestone caves and propose right at the Great Stalactite!

A Beach
Sandymount Strand, Dublin is a little oasis, just a few kilometers from Dublin City. Made famous by James Joyce and Seamus Heaney, it is full of literary inspiration and references and it is a great place to propose, as there are miles to walk either on sand or out to the nature reserve or (not for the fainthearted) out to the light house at Poolbeg. Why not propose on the most famous beach in Irish fiction?
A Bridge
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is one of the most iconic images in Northern Ireland. Suspended almost 100ft above sea level, it is a really popular tourist destination for thrill seekers. If you – and your intended – are brave enough to cross the bridge you will go from the mainland to the stunning Rocky Island with magnificent views of Rathlin Island.

A Castle
For those with unlimited budgets and who would like the romance and luxury of a castle, Ashford Castle in Cong, County Mayo has undergone a magnificent refurbishment and has started a new chapter in its history. Spectacular views and a complete hideaway make this one of the most romantic locations now in Ireland.
