1. Probably Co Doire. The Sperrins are like a time capsule driving through into Tyrone, although they border the counties. Very rural and just lovely for the best part.

2. Down, even with Ards. 

3. Obviously the All Ireland champions Armagh

   Down can be a close second because the Mournes are unreal

4. 6 silent letters.

5. Not Derry

6. Antrim Easily

7. Co. Antrim, surely?

8. Donegal

9. Fermanagh

10. Need to give it to Down. I’m an avid Fermanagh lover but it doesn’t have coastline but everything else about it is better….ok ok, it doesn’t have a Sainsbury’s!!

11. All of the counties except for Fermanagh

12. Antrim

13. Down

14. Derry obviously

15. Up Down!

16. Donegal. Even Sammy Wilson agrees.

17. Antrim

18. Down – has the mountains and coastline

19. Armagh

20. Antrim, not even a contest

21. Antrim

22. Fermanagh. Friendly bunch. Great scenery and if you looked at our troubled past they generally lived in peace with their neighbours. Minus points for that Sean Quinn fella tho.

23. Down

24. Down.

25. Shane Todd

26. Gotta be Antrim for the coast

27. Down

28. Antrim: The coastline, waterfalls, the Glens, forest park, beaches, causeway, whiskey, Belfast, Ireland’s most attacked GAA club, fleg paradise, multiple escape routes off the island

29. Up yer ma, up yer da, up Armagh

30. EZ Antrim

31. County Down

32. Londonderry

33. Have to begrudgingly go with the County of Down: The coastline and sleepy seaside villages, the Kingdom of Mourne and even Royal Hillsborough for the Protestants. They’ll not be winning an All Ireland anytime soon so may as well give them this.
