- Fermanagh’s Lakelands encompass the Erne system and its network of waterways, with islands, castles and forests providing opportunities for boating and exploration.
- Waterford’s Copper Coast and Greenway combine geological interest with recreational infrastructure, with the former mining region now offering walking and cycling routes along dramatic cliffs.
- Cork’s Beara Peninsula extends into the Atlantic with rugged terrain, archaeological sites and views across Bantry Bay.
- Meath’s Boyne Valley contains Ireland’s most significant concentration of prehistoric monuments, including the passage tombs of Newgrange and Knowth.
