A TripAdvisor expert says her favourite place in Ireland is in Co Kildare

Irish TripAdvisor 'destination expert' Claudia McManus is one of a team of contributors around the world who write about their home countries on the travel website.

She said: "There is something satisfying about giving people advice about places that they might not otherwise have got."

And she her favourite places in Ireland is Oughterard Cemetery near Ardclough, which is the resting place of Guinness founder Arthur Guinness.

Claudia has yet to tire of contributing to the website and says: "After 11 years I still enjoy giving advice to visitors."

Claudia also warned of the dangers for overseas tourists about cramming in too much sight-seeing in Ireland.

"They cannot do the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher and the Giant's Causeway in one day," she told the Sunday Times.

"Ireland may look small on a map compared to the US, Canada or Australia, but you simply cannot cram all the sights into just a few days.  Realising this often leads to readjustments of itineraries."
