Title: Prettiest/Most Spectacular venue for playing a game

For Bud.

;D
Just thought I'd lighten the discussion.

What is the prettiest or most spectacular venue for playing a game?  Our club played at Sannon Gaels in Blacklion with the field overlooking a lack.  Very pretty and we won!

Grennan in Thomastown. A fine pitch with the river and a castle as the backdrop. Pretty spectacular looking. Inistioge too is pretty nice.

Exactly--the above 2 are ones that i mentioned on the GAA Discussion thread--thats an old picture of Cushendun with the Bay Hotel still there

Was on Innis Oirr last week--that setting for a pitch is magic
