DUBLINS Hidden Secret No One Talks About
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- Join us on our full time vanlife adventure as we take our self built camper to our final destination in beautiful Ireland. We head to the amazing city of Dublin where we find an amazing park up, but instead of sticking to the usual tourist hotspots, we decided to explore a different side of the city and find some hidden gems and make the most of vanlife in Ireland.
we take a scenic walk the peaceful and historic Killiney Park, where we uncover the hidden treasures of the Witch’s Hat and the mysterious Pyramid, surrounded by lush nature and tranquil views. It’s the perfect way to wrap up our Ireland journey before we head back to England. And we have an amazing experience along Dublin’s harbour, where we had the most unexpected encounter with a group of playful seals! #vanlife #dublin #urbanvanlife #travelirelad #dublinireland

we have loved being in Ireland so so much and want to thank the Irish people for being the best ever , amazingly friendly and just perfect humans , thank you ireland we will be back , if you missed any of our irish travels then you can catch the full playlist here ua-cam.com/video/S6huN4lgNLU/v-deo.html
@@UrbanVanlife it was fantastic following the trip,you really made the most of Ireland 😁
You were literally just up the road from me, that's my local park an absolute paradise for the doggies. Great to see you really got the most out of Ireland instead of the usual tourist stuff and didn't spend your time moaning about the place like some other youtubers. Yep loads of seals, and you can snorkel with them too, it's a pity you didn't have time to head out to the island or check out the local pubs in the village, when your back I can give you a guided tour if you want. County Dublin both north and south has as much to offer, if not more than the city
come on back now for the craic, session starting NOW!
I hope you had the best time ever, come back soon!
I spent most of my secondary school days on the hop up that hill lol was born and raised not far from there the memories living in Wexford now
I actually teared up at the end as I could tell how much you'd loved it, and Mr Codger is actually considering Ireland after this, he was always put off by the weather ❤❤❤
Get yourselves over there or will not disappoint, even when the weather isn’t great there’s always something pretty to look at ♥️♥️♥️
Love the Banter between you both. Love that you have shown a different side to Dublin. Thankyou will look forward to when you do get the chance to go back to Ireland xx 🙂
Best adventure we have had, made so special by everyone we met along the way! ♥️♥️
Thanks Neil & Emma for showing the best of Ireland. I have learned of so many places that I would never have thought to visit. Cant wait to welcome you back, wait till you see Kerry & Cork, breathtaking scenery. The top gear road is called the Corkscrew Hill. Happy travels.
Thank you so much to our favourite Queen, you helped us along the way whilst having the most amazing journey around parts of your beautiful country ♥️♥️♥️
dont forget north county dublin. you should visit rush and skerries. that green thing at 8:08 is a water pump
We’ll add it to the list, thank you 🤩
Johnny Foxes, the highest pub in Ireland. That is an old fountain/water pump with the pump bit that goes on top missing although not all have a pump attachment. Genuine people like you folks will fit in like a hand in a glove because you give the friendliness back. Always be kind to a stranger because you never know when you will be the stranger.
Thank you for the lovely comment and we like that, always be kind to a stranger as you never know when you will be the stranger, strong words ♥️😊
That was an old water pump on Killiney hill , they were all over the country in the olden days , people would go there to get water for their house , the one you showed was a modern version ,they replaced the older "big long handled" versions .When I was teenager they were still working ( I'm 66 years old )we would fill up our water bottles when cycling around in the summer , very handy .
Aaaww it’s lovely to get information from someone who has actually used them in the past, thank you 🤩
Thank you for visiting our lovely wee isle.. you’re right you still have so much to see and do.. please do come back soon.. we are loving the vlogs
Thank you so much, we have loved every moment of your stunning country, and it’s amazing people. I (Emma) was in tears leaving so we are definitely coming back!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Guys u have made Ireland look absolutely stunning 😊😊😊 great vlog again
Thanks so much! 😊
Excellent series. Countryside, small city centers, interesting shops, local attractions, food, and drink. Ah... We loved watching it!
Glad you enjoyed it thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back!
Delighted to hear you guys are coming back to the Emerald Isle. If you ever make it up to beautiful Armagh, be free to make contact. Dinner on us. 👍😃☘️
What a lovely comment thank you so much from both of us ♥️♥️
This Irish series was an epic watch. Really enjoyed it. What a capture with the seals and that food looked delicious. What next I wonder.🤔
We are back in the UK for a while as we have several weddings but then off we pop again… got to use these eu passports the doggies have to make them worth their while 😏😏
No secret for us Dubs. I used to walk up that summit a good few Sundays in summer as a child, happy memories as both my parents have now passed away.
It’s an amazing gem of a place, we had no idea and are just grateful we got to see it and have a walk around taking in the scenery, plus the dogs loved it 🥰
Love the dogs enjoying the freedom ❤️
We loved that they had so much fun, can spend hours watching them play and run about ♥️🐾🐾
I grew up around Dun Laoghaire. Still have family there
Killiney Hill Park was and still is regular meet up place for a walk and since the cafe opened there a stop for a coffee.
The views over Dublin Wicklow Dalkey island and Dun Laoghaire there are fabulous.
The Dun Laoghaire area is a handy place for those not driving to stay with the dart train into Dublin city centre from there.
Beautiful place really enjoyed walking round and taking in the scenery and the dogs loved it ♥️
Brilliant series of videos and have loved every one of em. Loved the banter between you to in this video 😂
Thank you so much ☺️
Love following your videos. It was even better meeting you in person. Two fabulous beautiful people. You have shown me a lot of places I did not know about.
Aaaww it was lovely meeting you too Malcolm, thanks for being a part of our experience in Ireland, it’s people like yourself that helped make it so special!
Enjoyed your trip and take on van life in Ireland. That was a pump on Killiney Hill, but missing the cap. They were common place allarpund Ireland up to the 70s. You still see them in places, also the taller ones with a handle that Emma was talking about.
We knew people who watch would know ☺️☺️☺️
Loved your ireland series ❤
Thank you so much ♥️
Thanks for sharing and taking us along on another great adventure
Thanks for joining us Neill 🤗🤗
Brilliant video and beautiful scenery, hope all is well, take care of yourselves
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Neal and Emma 👋 just us 2 saying hi 👋 thank you so much for sharing this adventure.👍 Like the way you done your solar on the roof.we looking forward to see your next adventure 👍 playing catch up..as very busy working on the the house for Christmas 👍 den and sue 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚐🚐🚐
Christmas 🎄 what about Halloween 👻 hope you are well!!! ♥️
That's the harbour of Dun Laoghaire just a mile from Killiney Hill Park and about 5 miles south of Dublin City.
Correct lovely place to see the seals and have a little walk!
Fantastic trip and vlogs. Thank you. All the very best to you all. 👍🚐🐾🐾😎
Thank you Rob! We have loved every second of Ireland! Can’t wait to return! 🐾🐾♥️♥️☺️
Love the way yer man is so humble creates this fantastic motorised solar setup and acts like it's nothing😂
Trust me it wasn’t nothing … tempers where lost and things where thrown during the build process 😂😂😂
It couldn’t be any better with you. You say some really nice things and surprise us all
Even surprised me 😂😂♥️
He's so romantic Emma!😊 Great vid as always guys!❤❤ Paul & Lin.
He does surprise me every now and again ♥️
Gotta say (possibly not for the first time) you two are brilliant! You have done a superb job of showcasing Ireland from a campervan. I am really sorry that our paths never crossed, despite you being up in the north west. Next time you come back keep out a keen eye for Kinlough Herman. 👍👍👍👍 and a bit of 😍 from 🇵🇹🇪🇸
Thank you so much for your lovely and kind comment! We can’t wait to come back and explore more and not going to lie I cried having to come back to England (Emma here obviously) couldn’t have wished for a more perfect first adventure in a stunning country with amazing people ♥️
The great thing about UK / Ireland is the CTA Common Travel Area which means there are no restrictions on work / live /travel / study. It predates the EU.
It’s great for us as we can come and spend so much more time over here as we have genuinely been wowed by everything about it ♥️♥️
Glad you enjoyed our lovely Isle. Loved all your vlogs. 💚
It’s been amazing ♥️♥️
I really enjoyed this series of vlogs 👍🏻🙂
Thank you 🙏
Emma is right Neil. It's a water pump. We still have one at the bottom of our road
Yesssss!!! I knew it 😏
Safe journey home, but you will have to come back. The wild Atlantic way from Cork though to Kerry. Is fab!!! Enjoyed watch your travels around our beautiful country
We can’t wait to come back and explore, but we will take our time next time!!
As well as Seals sometime you get Dolphins coming in to Dún Laoghaire( Dun Leary)which is the Harbour you visited. Dublin itself doesn’t have a harbour anymore more. Like Liverpool it’s more of a port.
Really wanted to see some dolphins but we just didn’t catch them this time, there’s always next visit fingers crossed 🤞
There was loads of them water fountains around back in the day, same as uk but uk like to charge you for everything. Be charging us to breath soon 😕enjoyed watching. Pickle is ace by the way lol 😊💜💙
Pickle is a little terror and he knows it 😂😂 but we wouldn’t have him any other way, he’s such a loving little boy ♥️♥️🐾🐾
Brilliant video..👍👍
Thank you 👍☺️
The whole series brilliant 👏👏👏
Wow thank you 🤩
An old water fountain!! There were loads around dublin city centre for decades!
Emma for the win here then, loves anything old ♥️
@@UrbanVanlife Come back soon !!
I have seen a similar one on this side of the pond and the top was for watering horses and the bottom was for dogs. No one knew the bottom part was there until they excavated and restored it.
You're parked up the night at Dalkey Harbour it looks like, clise to Dun Laoghaire.
Yes we where
We Irish adopt all nice people hurry up and come back loved all the videos 👍
What a beautiful comment thank you so much ☺️
Love the park ups
We touched lucky with all of our park ups whilst traveling around, always found somewhere beautiful and peaceful! ☺️
Brilliant - need I say more x
Thank you so much, Ireland has been a dream for us ♥️
Gonk love it. When I get up to something away from Dublin city people look at me like at a nutter. And when I ask directions they call their buddies to say that there is some mad person looking for such and such do ya know where it's at?
We don’t care if people think we are mad, having worked in bars for years we got told that on the daily … that we are nutters 😂😂
1 - don’t forget Wexford
2 - nearly every fishing harbour in Ireland has seals. They are actually a pest at this stage. Talks of culling to reduce number.
3 - Dingle peninsula is a must but don’t forget the beara too. Don’t go in winter though, be lucky to find a coffee shop. Come back in late March/ early April. Might be a bit wetter but less tourists and plenty of places open for the season.
We can’t wait to visit the places you have listed but we didn’t want to rush our way around because it’s such a beautiful county it deserves to be explored properly ♥️♥️
great see vlog out on channel on travels keep up the great vlogs on travelsa thanks for the share on channel thanks lee
Thank you Lee 🐾♥️🐾
It's an old water drinking fountain
@@4987miked yep unfortunately I’m old enough to remember some working ones in the village I grew up in, they had a knob on the side kind of like a watch crown.
I knew it was something to do with water 💦
So happy you guys had a great time with us in our little Country called Ireland, Being a Liverpool supporter all my life,I welcome scoucers to Ireland, you two probably have Irish connections , anyway do come back, and mate your wife is a bit tasty 😉 all the best Dublin Paul 😁
It’s a beautiful country and we can’t wait to return and see more! Genuinely had the best time made even better by people, couldn’t have picked a better place to start our adventures ♥️♥️
Loved your vlogs here in Ireland, I know you had a few downsides. But will you return again. I thought you both gonna remain. Been a pleasure looking at your updates. Stay safe return again to the EMERALD ISLIE. From an Irish Fan
We will definitely be back as it was an amazing experience, Ireland has literally stolen a piece of our hearts ♥️
Wow so quick to reply. I have laughed and been down at some of your experiences. But you know at the best of weather you can seen see Wales from highest points on the East Coast of Ireland. Guys best of luck. You both got the Irish Luck in built in your blood. So you both have Liverpudlian Blood in you means you both have Irish Genes.
Thank you so much ♥️
Never share park ups , It sounds a horrible to thing to do but it sorts the wheat from the chaff . It only takes 1 to mess it up for everyone . 😉
It’s a shame that you are correct when we where talking to someone locally they explained to us about why the height barriers had been put in place on the harbour/port and it was completely down to people disrespecting the area and it’s sad and disgusting that a few spoil it for others, it’s not hard to keep tidy and leave a place as clean as you find it, if not cleaner!
👌🏻
🙏🤗
If you want to see seals and there pups go to Donna nook north Lincolnshire in November they go there to have there baby, 😊
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 …. I’ll have to add that to our list thank you 🤩
7.62 is ak47 . Or old British SLR . Not really used anymore. Apart from ak47 world wide.
Deer hunting is usually .240 or .308 .
Wonder who was having a few pop offs there
Glad I didn’t know this at the time or I would have proper freaked out (Emma here) and I was already uneasy about them all being there! 😂😂
@@UrbanVanlife They did look like they had been there a while .
@@UrbanVanlife You're in the Glen of Imaal. Its a military firing range.
Thin Lizzy had an album titled Johnny the Fox. Is there any connection between that and the place you visited?
@@Pootz1000 There was a Thin Lizzy poster on the wall of the pub.
@@sheilaghk6350 awesome. I never spotted that
Although that doesn't mean there's a connection between the pub and the album
Believe it got its name from the Fox family that use to run the farm but not 100 percent sure!
7.62 shells. Dodgy that
Wouldn’t they be used for deer
Aren’t most pyramids square? Only the sides taper like a triangle 🤔
Yes they are but because of the size it seemed more square to the eye than the larger ones
Aldi are doing chocolate gonks for £0.49p
Hi ho hi ho it’s off to Aldi I go…… )obviously this is Emma) 😂😂😂
It’s tiny because leprechauns are tiny lol
Haven’t been called a leprechaun in a while, wouldn’t mind the pot of gold!
Next stop......Newfoundland?!!
It’s on our goals list ♥️♥️
You didnt enjoy the "tourist trap" in Glendalough.... lets go to Johnnie Foxs😂😂😂😂
We did enjoy Glendalough its self, just not the prices, and when we where at Johnnie Foxes the price of tea and coffee and snacks was more than reasonable, don’t know how much the ale was as we didn’t get any alcohol, but to let us park up and not have to buy alcoholic drinks or a meal it was very good for us
I've been there once when my Australian brother in law wanted to go. All they need are a few more Leprechauns and it would complete the image! Glad to hear they don't wind up the prices
Wait till you come back. I'll be giving you a few choice locations for ya. Oh, and maybe you wanna see whales and dolphins??... idk.. just a thought..
Always want to see whales and dolphins, it’s a massive part of why we want to come back and spend more time exploring, Neil’s been dreaming of the dingle coast since we saw a programme on it years ago, but we don’t want to rush it
That's the remains of an old water pump
Emma for the win on this one 😂😂
So what's next??? Back to work???
We are both still working remotely whilst travelling, and one of us is also studying too along side that.
@@UrbanVanlife tell me more!!! These are the inner workings that people don't see, that makes your world happen 👍 what do you work as??? Studying for what. I'm going to ask cos I'm nosey. But a lot of UA-cam watches will be think your rich!!! Even the sun newspaper painted that picture!!!!! Scousers in the sun newspaper 😯👍😂🤣😂🤣😂
You come across as honest as well so I'll ask. Some vanlifers suddenly have videos from houses!!! Yep living in a van is a fib. Some go back to mummy's and daddy's so you know they're not out there on their own, they have back up. It's nice to see genuine people 👍
The Sun newspaper need to stop writing things about people they have never spoken to, and who have zero interest in speaking to them and maybe do some actual journalism or research instead of making assumptions about people based off what they see on UA-cam. People only see snippets of our lives and if they chose to make judgements about us that to us says more about their character than ours as I personally only make judgements about people through how they interact with me and treat others. Neil edits for other channels in America along side other things, and I work in customer service online (part time) whilst studying a nutrition and health course to change my career path after working full time as a manger for the past 20 years, which the course I was already doing before the move into the van but got put on hold due to illness. I can also still pick up shifts in hospitality through the indeed flex app as and when I need to, we have both worked full time all our lives sometimes having more than one job, just because we have chosen a different path and to start a new chapter in an alternative way does not mean we do not have bills to pay and do not need to have an income. And we have stated this in previous videos. Also we only found out about the Sun article through a comment on here and we are not pleased as we would not associate ourselves with them. And no we aren’t going back to mummy and daddy’s house to live, we have chosen to travel and see things before it’s too late, recent health scares made us literally look at things very differently, you never know what is around the corner, but that said if it all goes wrong we are able to provide for ourselves and do what we need to without relying on other people 😊 sorry about the rant about The Sun but it has annoyed us both and yes in total transparency we do earn from UA-cam but it certainly isn’t a large amount as people think hence having other sources of income!
Be seeing you, the west of Ireland is the best in our humble opinion, really enjoy watching your travels
Thank you and we loved the whole experience and can’t wait to come back and see so much more, only issue is we both need to go on diets after all the amazing bakeries 🧁
Most people are working to pay the bills, cause the inflation is unreal
Lovely vid as always. I was wondering if the whistle would get a mention. 🪈 Looking forward to hearing about your next adventures. ❤️
Thank you 🤩
And of course the whistle had to get mentioned .. it’s part of the family now ♥️
We know who your neighbours will be when you move to Ireland.
Dolly would be in heaven as her first love is there 😂♥️🐾🐾
