Heff + Suzi - Radio tower added to the list.
Thanks everyone, looks like a bit of a plan is now forming (thumbs)
Shedman - Will do. Hope they're not as prolific as the Highlands or Norway...not enjoyable

I too would recommend Achill Island.
Keel Sandybanks is a great campsite and make sure to checkout Keem beach, not that far from the campsite and worth a visit.
Nagle's caravan and camping in Doolin is a great campsite and its right next to the Cliffs of Mohar. well worth a visit if your that far up plus you could also take in the Father Ted sights if it's your thing (thumbs)
