Autumn sweeps across Ireland as landscapes erupt in fiery oranges, vivid reds, highlighter yellows and shimmering golds. Walk under a vibrant canopy of autumnal leaves, hike through gold-dusted ferns, and admire the bronzed heather-covered hills and bogs. Exploring Ireland in September is pure magic.
September in Ireland is a time of quieter crowds, temperate weather and soft-lit evenings. The weather is mild, and the roads and hills are quiet, making it an ideal time for hiking and cycling. Visit iconic spots like the Giant’s Causeway, the wilds of Killarney or the Cliffs of Moher without the summer bustle.
The last light of summer gives way to dramatic skies, and the crisp air is laced with the comforting smell of turf fires. Autumn is a fabulous season for spotting rainbows, and September sunsets are stunning. Tuck into cheery pubs full of locals to taste the hearty local cuisine. Afterwards, sip a pint in front of a roaring turf fire as you listen to live Irish trad music.
