“These are three hidden gems you might not have heard of and you cannot miss.”
The first hidden gem he highly recommended is the Causeway Coastal Cliff path in Co. Antrim.
He added: “You can see the cliffs of the north coast from perspective that not seen by many before.”
HIDDEN VILLAGE
Next up, he shared his second favourite hidden gem which is the Hidden Village of Galboly in Co. Antrim.
Criostoir continued: “This is a derelict village and a beautiful setting that you must see.”
The village with little stone cottages is tucked into the Antrim hills at Garron Point.
It has become a popular spot for films and series including Game Of Thrones.

The Ulster American Folk Park in Co. Tyrone is his final must-see.
He added: “Take a trip to the Ulster American Folk Park, where you can step back in time and experience pre-famine in Ireland.”
Many people rushed to the comments to share their thoughts on the three spots.
One person said: “Wow the view is unreal!”
Another person wrote: “First two I can confirm are amazing.”
A third person added: “Love all of these! Fab spots.”
ADVENTURE PARK
Meanwhile, take a look at the little-known Irish adventure park with a zipline, canoeing and axe throwing all just 20 minutes from a bustling city.
The outdoor park has no loud rides and is completely free from technology.
Visitors can choose from a list of numerous outdoor activities to sign up for on their trip to the adventure centre.
Castlecomer Discovery Park is located just 20 minutes away from the quaint city of Kilkenny.
The activity centre opens seven days a week during peak seasons.
The woodland park itself is FREE to visit and each activity is individually charged for. This means visitors can pick and choose which activities they want to do, and want to pay for.
