[QUOTE="busterheiney, post: 4212954, member: 52406"] Been to both countries. My experience is that if you're wanting to see cool sites, hit London. The Tower of London (not really a tower, but a fortress) is amazing. They have an armory of old weapons and actual suits of armor that is lots of fun to see. The Crown Jewels are right there, too. The Roman Baths are a great site to hit. London eye is cool. Stonehenge is neat to see, but probably not worth wasting a day driving just to see it. It's literally what you see on the Internet and not much more. Several castles and cathedrals to see if you're interested in that, too. We stayed on the southern side of Ireland near Cork. Kissed the Blarney stone and saw several old castles. Ireland was a different experience than England. We rented a car and did a road trip through the countryside. Stayed at b&B's, and ate at small pubs. I probably enjoyed that experience more than England because I got to see the local culture outside of the big city. Part of our group toured the Jameson Distillery. My group toured the Waterford Crystal factory and got to see how they made everything. Never had a bad experience with the people in either country. All were super friendly, especially in the small pubs. Pro-tip: Bring several $1 bills to give to the people you talk with, especially the kids. Foreign currency is as fun to them as it is to us.
