This. Is. Not. Clickbait.
This is a list of the best Irish Instagram accounts (in my opinion), but it’s not one of these ‘listicles’ that has been created solely to drive meaningless traffic to a website.
I could have created one of those kinds of lists, but I would have died a little inside as soon as bashed the ‘Publish’ button.
Mini rant over…
This is a list I’ve had in my head for ages.
It’s a collection of Instagram accounts that give me that little stir in my belly that I associate with adventure.
The Instagram accounts below make me want to explore Ireland, and I believe they’ll make you want to do so too.
In no particular order, the best Irish Instagram accounts are…

1 – @wild_sky_photography – No intro I write here will do Sean’s stuff justice – dive in and feel the wanderlust flow!
2 – @rawdublin – exquisitely shot Dublin City scenes. Perfect for those of you looking for a glance at the capital after the sun drops
3 – @joe.ire – for those of you looking for some Irish exploration inspiration! Joe’s posts make me uncomfortably aware of how unadventurous my own weekends are!!
4 – @colmk15 – Class photos from around Ireland! His recent time-lapse video is well worth a watch, too!
5 – @outofmylens – Showcasing Ireland. Perfect for those of you that love a quirky building, or city architecture!
I just can’t find the right words to describe you how amazing the cliffs are from this angle. Oh and all this green !! ?? ?? . Thank you @samsungireland for this opportunity #dobiggerthings #shotfromthegalaxy

One account I discovered before Christmas that I have fallen in love with is @abandoned_westcork . Of all the abandoned Irish building accounts I follow this one is by far the best.
