Would you like to be a Discover Ireland Explorer?

As part of the Discover Ireland Explorer competition in association with Independent.ie, we want you to share with us your best, happiest, craziest or funniest memory about a holiday you’ve had in Ireland for the chance to create lifelong memories with an incredible adventure.

The adventure break for two includes one unique night in an Irish Landmark Trust's lighthouse keeper’s cottage built in the late 1800’s perched on dramatic cliffs 130 feet above sea level overlooking the Celtic Sea; one night in The Heron’s Cove boutique Bed and Breakfast where you will dine in their award winning restaurant and take a trip to  the Mizen Head. If you dare, you’ll get to cross the iconic bridge high above the gorge! You’ll also stay for one night at the Inchydoney Island Hotel & Spa, with spa treatment and whale watching or kayaking excursion included. All you have to do is tell us your best Irish holiday memory. Full prize details available here.

Upload a high quality photo or video (up to 100MB) and in the Description field write about your favourite Ireland holiday memory in 250 words or less.  Once done, you’ll be in with a chance to win this unforgettable adventure break and the chance to make new memories that will last a lifetime.

The winners will also get the chance to report on their adventures by blogging, reporting or filming their activities and the results will be hosted on the Travel in Ireland hub on Independent.ie. This is a wonderful opportunity for budding travel writers, travel bloggers or just anyone who is passionate about exploring Ireland.

Competition closing date extended to Saturday August 8th. Best of Luck!
