Diamond Beach is the black sand beach of Fellsfjara on Breiðamerkursandur, on both sides of the outlet of Jökulsárlón south of Route 1. Blocks of glacier ice carried out of the lagoon by the tide wash up and lie on the sand. A 1 km trail runs along the eastern beach, Eystri-Fellsfjara, and the river can be crossed on foot under the bridge.

Ásbyrgi is a horseshoe-shaped canyon in Vatnajökull National Park, about 38 km east of Húsavík. It is 3.5 km long and about 1.1 km wide, with cliffs up to 100 m high, a birch and willow wood and the pond Botnstjörn at its head. Outburst floods of the Jökulsá á Fjöllum carved it, and the rock ridge Eyjan divides it in the middle.

Dettifoss is a waterfall on the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river in Vatnajökull National Park, where the glacial river drops 44 m over a 100 m wide edge into the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon. The sediment-laden water runs greyish white. Road 862 reaches the west bank, with a path and a viewing platform; a gravel road serves the east bank in summer.

Hoffellsjökull is an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull in Vatnajökull National Park, about 25 km north of Höfn. A 4 km gravel track from the farm Hoffell leads to a car park, and a short path climbs to a viewpoint over the lagoon Hoffellslón, where icebergs float in front of the glacier snout. Going onto the ice needs a guide.

Stuðlagil is a canyon of the river Jökulsá á Dal in the Jökuldalur valley, about 44 km from Egilsstaðir, lined with tall hexagonal basalt columns. The walls were exposed after the Kárahnjúkar dam, completed in 2009, cut the river's flow, which also turned the water blue-green in summer. A viewing platform stands on the west bank; the east bank is reached on a 5 km walk.

Stokksnes is a headland about 12 km east of Höfn, below the jagged Vestrahorn ridge, with a black sand beach, grass-tufted dunes and a lighthouse. A radar station was built at its tip in 1955 and is still used by the Iceland Air Defence System. The land is private: access is on a gravel road past the Viking Café at Horni, which collects an entrance fee.

Hengifoss is a 128 m waterfall on the Hengifossá river in Fljótsdalur, East Iceland. It drops from a basalt cliff striped with thin red layers of clay, which also hold fossilised tree trunks and lignite from a warmer period. A path climbs from the car park to the falls in 40 to 60 minutes, passing Litlanesfoss and its basalt columns.

Seyðisfjarðarkirkja is the pale blue timber church of Seyðisfjörður, a fjord town about 18 km from Egilsstaðir over the Fjarðarheiði pass. Built in 1920–22 partly from an older church that stood at Vestdalseyri, it was designed by Jón G. Jónasson and has a roof tower and large arched windows. It was restored after a fire in 1989.

Connemara National Park covers about 2,000 hectares of mountains, bog, heath, grassland and woodland at Letterfrack in County Galway, including part of the Twelve Bens range. It opened to the public in 1980 on land that was partly the Kylemore Abbey estate. Four marked trails start near the visitor centre, including paths up Diamond Hill.

Kylemore Abbey is a Benedictine monastery on a lakeshore near Letterfrack in Connemara, housed in Kylemore Castle, built from 1867 for Mitchell Henry to designs by James Franklin Fuller. Benedictine nuns who had fled Belgium during the First World War founded the abbey in 1920. Visitors see rooms of the house, the Gothic church and a walled garden laid out in 1870.

The Cliffs of Moher are sea cliffs on the Atlantic coast of County Clare, near Doolin, running for about 14 km along the edge of the Burren. They reach 214 m just north of O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower built in 1835. Paths along the cliff top, the tower and a visitor centre set into the hillside look out towards the Aran Islands.

Doolin Cave is a limestone show cave near Doolin, on the western edge of the Burren in County Clare. English cavers discovered it in 1952, and it opened to visitors in 2006. A guided tour leads down a shaft to the Great Stalactite, which hangs about 7.3 m from the cave roof. Above ground, a nature trail crosses the surrounding farmland.

Ross Castle is a 15th-century tower house on the shore of Lough Leane near Killarney, built by the O'Donoghue Mór clan and later held by the Brownes, Earls of Kenmare. In 1652 it was one of the last strongholds in Munster to surrender to Cromwell's forces. The interior is seen on guided tours run by the OPW.

Killarney National Park, beside the town of Killarney in County Kerry, was Ireland's first national park, created when the Muckross Estate was given to the state in 1932. It covers over 100 square kilometres of lakes, oak and yew woodland and mountains, is home to Ireland's only native red deer herd and is a UNESCO biosphere reserve.

Aillwee Cave is a cave system in the limestone hills of the Burren in County Clare, near Doolin. A local farmer found it in 1944, and it opened to visitors in 1976. Guided tours follow about 300 m of passage past stalactites, an underground waterfall and the remains of brown bears, and leave through a man-made tunnel. A birds of prey centre shares the site.

Torc Waterfall is a 20-metre cascade on the Owengarriff River at the foot of Torc Mountain in Killarney National Park, about 7 km from Killarney. The river drains the Devil's Punchbowl lake on Mangerton Mountain, and a short woodland path leads from the road to the falls. Its name comes from the Irish for 'wild boar'.

Muckross House is a 65-room Tudor-style mansion near Killarney, built from 1839 to 1843 to plans by William Burn for Henry Arthur Herbert on a peninsula between Muckross Lake and Lough Leane. Queen Victoria stayed here in 1861. Given to the nation in 1932, it is seen on guided tours, with gardens and traditional farms beside it.

Muckross Abbey is a ruined Franciscan friary in Killarney National Park near Killarney, founded in 1448 by Donal McCarthy Mór. Cromwellian troops removed its roof in 1652, but most walls survive, including the church, the tower and a cloister around a yew tree. The graveyard holds the graves of Kerry poets of the 17th and 18th centuries.

Poulnabrone Dolmen is a Neolithic portal tomb on the limestone plateau of the Burren in County Clare, near Doolin. Three upright stones carry a thin, tilted capstone, and the tomb was built between about 3800 and 3200 BC. Excavations in 1986 and 1988 found the remains of about 33 people buried beneath it. Visitors see it from a path beside the road.

Galway Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral of Galway, built from 1958 to 1965 on the site of the old city gaol beside the River Corrib. Designed by John J. Robinson and built almost entirely of local limestone, it has a dome 44 metres high, rose windows and mosaics.
