Skerries Mills

A tour around Skerries mills

Looking for somewhere fun to visit on the weekends or your day off? I love a good ramble on my day off and love visiting places that give me inspiration.
I was recently watching the news when I seen Skerries had won a tidy town award. I remember visiting Skerries every summer as a kid and I loved the town. I had never visited the mills so we decided to take a drive out to have a peep.
I am a little obsessed with cute cottages and gardens and the mills didn’t disappoint.
We done the tour of the mills, it was 6.25 each but you can get a family ticket for 12.50, you can find more info here.

The tour took about an hour and our guide was a fountain of knowledge, I love doing tours and I find them really interesting but there is a fab tea shop too so even if you just want to visit for a cup of tea, on a nice day you can sit outside and take in the view.
On a Saturday there is a market! I work Saturdays so I couldn’t visit the market but they also have cute shops in the courtyard.

We then went down the beach and I got the most delicious ice cream from A storm in a tea cup, you might remember this was a little sweet shop as a kid in Skerries. It is the cutest little ice cream shop now and definitely worth a visit.
Have a peep below for loads of pics, the sun was stunning that Sunday and you wouldn’t think it was October.

I love rambling on my day off and I am always looking for places to visit and tour, let me know your fave places to visit so I can check them out.
