Bamboo Park
Amazing views! Known for Ireland’s only cable car.
The only thing I would say is that if you are planning to visit in the summer, the queue can be quite long to go and to return on the mainland, as only a few amount of people can enter the car at the same time.
Just something to keep in mind. There’s also no bathroom on the island.
