- In this video we started off at a campsite in Dungloe where we had a look around the pier and enjoyed some local cuisine, from here we headed to the stunning Assaranca Waterfall which is just a short drive outside the town of Ardara easily accesed by turning of the N56 onto a smaller road. Just round the corner from here we pulled into a car park which was 6 euro charge for the van that allowed us to go and explore of the Caves of Maghera and the stunning white sand beach with crystal clear waters.

Wow wow wow!!!
It looks absolutely stunning.
So glad your both having a great time guys 😊
It really is an amazing place and we are having a wonderful time thank you 🤩
You both seem to be much happier and more relaxed with your new life now . Peace be the journey and Cool runnings all the way .
Thank you so much, it’s definitely a massive change and can be challenging with the limited space but it’s definitely worth it!
Living the best life now👌
Couldn’t agree more friend ♥️
I am so jealous, you are seeing and experiencing some of the most beautiful places in the world. Question, isn’t it summer now? Poor Raven ….
Yeah somewhere it’s summer …. Think we’ve had 2 or 4 days 😂😂😂😂 and Raven can give as good as she gets don’t let her size and adorableness fool you 😂😂😂
Absolutely incredible scenery!! Hope both of you are well, take care of yourselves
Thank you! Will do!
I'm heading back home to Ireland in a couple of weeks for my 50th birthday, I really need to see more of the emerald Isle the place I call home 💚
Aawww happy 50th for in a couple of weeks 🎉🥳
Donegal or Kerry yous will have a hard time deciding when you get there. I was home for a little while watching your beautiful video. I’m not surprised you love it so much,nothing better than local knowledge! Thanks for sharing with the folks who haven’t been there.
Wow thank you for the lovely comment means a lot 🥹 I just got a little emotional reading that (Emma here of course) ♥️♥️
Beautiful dogs. They look very healthy and happy.
Thank you, their happiness means everything to us ♥️🐾♥️
Excellent content as always. Love the doggos enjoying the beach. Valkyrie the black lab 🐾🐶🐾
Thanks Valkyrie ♥️🐾♥️🐾
Great video. My daughter is desperate to play her cello in that big cave! The acoustics would be amazing. Best wishes.
Can only imagine what that would sound like ❤️
That water on the beach was so clear I have never seen water that clear on any beach.
👏👍🙏
Neither have we before, it was delightful!
Oh man . We are about 4 videos behind from this one . Ur belive me it only gets better . Like shockingly aqua seas
Thank you Guys really enjoyed this I lived in southern Ireland for a few years back in the early 2000's and used to love going around connemara camping for the weekends magical ATB enjoy safe travels just subbed also

Don’t blame you using the odd Campsite, makes perfect sense and like you found there are still some reasonably priced ones out there
Yeah we needed to take a minute and decompress from everything and also get everywhere clean 🧼 😂😂
Did you forget something at the end Neil........Seatbelt by any chance.... Gorgeous scenery.
I am ware in one it’s a invisabelt
@@UrbanVanlife that's alright then...

Glad you are all enjoying the new adventure and thanks for the mattress vlog that made us change the back of the van and now have a fixed bed mentioned to mattress made we had seen your vlog and now have a comfy bed all the best .Stu & Gill
Aaawww comfort is definitely a must!!! We love ours ♥️♥️
Your landlord can rise the rent & take your home away by selling the house but no one can take your camper van away from you that’s what I like about van life because I can live comfortably in my van & I don’t have to worry about being evicted or anything van life is the best alternative life good on you guys for embracing your new life whereas now you don’t have to worry about the rent anymore or what your landlord is going to do you are now free
All very true words, there is definitely something about feeling less confided that warms the soul!
Freedom!!!!!!!!!
Stunning waterfall and those caves were awesome. Love to see the puppers enjoying the beach. Have fun guys. 😊❤x
Thank you, we love seeing our little tribe live their best lives 🐾🐾♥️♥️
Stunning scenery and such lovely places to visit 😍🚐🐾
It really is!
Loving your adventures and seeing you enjoying yourselves. Sending love from Liverpool. X
Aaawww thank you, believe there’s been a lot of flooding back in Liverpool hope everyone is safe and sound ♥️♥️♥️
Love your dogs we've got one black and tan one. Was thinking of getting another one, this video is swaying me more and more to do this seeing how they all get on.
They are an absolute joy, every single one of them has a different personality but they get on so so well and they snuggle up together to sleep 🐾🐾♥️♥️
Loving this Irish series Neil...great to see you, Emma and the pooches having such a blast! ......and with you all the way on the campsite stops....absolutely essential on longer trips.....keep filling us in on the names/locations of the gaffs you stay at - as i'll be recreating this trip in 2025 🤟
Awesome, this wonderful place definitely will not disappoint, the people are amazing and the scenery is something else! 💚💚
Nice guys, loved the caves, so glad to hear you advise about the tide times.
No one needs to be stuck in a cave when the tide comes in we saw just how quickly
It changes first hand!
Raven 😂😂😂 she's such a rebel already, what beautiful scenery, and fabulous video. If it's any consolation. It's raining here constant atm❤ take care and carry on living the dream xxx
She’s a little minx, gets her cheek from the men in the family obviously 🤩🤩🤩🐾🐾🐾
wow, i need to go!
Do it 🤩🤩🤩
Living my dream ! Good luck guys great video 👍👏👏
Thank you 🤩
Love your doing this, I was watching your videos a year ago, that's why I have the back door lock on my crafter. Gotta make the vids 1080p though fella 👍

Puppies are so cute!

Wow what a beautiful beach.
My favourite so far (Emma) but there’s so many here 💚💚
Those tunnels gave me bad claustrophobia vibes!!!
Some of them where a bit small but a few where okay 😂😂😂
New subscriber here . Looking forward to watching your journey. ❤
Welcome aboard! And thank you, hopefully we won’t disappoint as this place is stunning everywhere we go!!!
good sede you put vid out on travels thanks lee
Thanks Lee More to come!
Heard you on radio 2 the other day, when i was at work
That was Neil 😂😂😂
Great vid. Best yet.
Wow, thanks! 🤩
Beautiful spots. You sure know how to pick them
Thanks, there’s definitely more to come from this stunning country!
That beach is gorgeous, certainly an improvement on Ainsdale ☺👍.
Ireland is full of the most amazing beaches.
It’s Emma’s favourite so far!!! And we’ve seen a few!!!
Great editing. cheers, new subscriber....good vlog
Welcome aboard and thank you so much 😊
How do Neil and Emma. gotta laugh at Pickle the rebel...wonder who he gets that off Neil 😉 I just wanna say how much I am so happy to see you both and those gorgous puppers regularly on the chuube AND thriving. I tell you, I cannot wait til next year when I do the same and this house is sold and no money grabbing family thinking they can dictate what I do with my life. I'll then do some videos on mine and show the negative people I leave behind that theres actually a life out there if we choose to grasp it. As ever, absolute respect and hope to meet you both one day. You are on my list which is slowly being ticked off. 🙏- Kenny
Thank you Kenny, family can be tough sometimes as they have their opinion on what’s best etc but you need to do what’s right for you and your own health and well being! Always follow your dreams ♥️♥️♥️
@@UrbanVanlife you too,guys and I'll follow you following yours❤️👍
Enjoy Guys !
Thank you, it’s hard not to enjoy yourself in this beautiful place!!!
16.26 mins in that cave on the right has a side view face on it, looks really eerie :P
I’ll have to have e another look didn’t spot that 😂😂
Welcome to Ireland. Hope to see you in Mayo/Galway
Thank you and we will definitely be heading those ways 😄😄
Our Ancient East also has lots to offer and the weather is always better on the south East.
it would be a loss not to experience it,so many come just for the Atlantic Way spin and don't bother to go East,
shame to miss out while you're here.
We are not strictly sticking to just the WAW we are kind of making our own path round as there is a lot of things we want to see so not ruling anything out at the moment 💚
Confused by the video title. You seem to be living your best life. Ireland is so beautiful.
The title is a question as ‘Some’ people see using camp sites when you are full time as a fail, we don’t personally because if you need to use them then use them but there are people who don’t and have their opinions on it. And yes Ireland is literally stunning 🤩
@@UrbanVanlife Oh, I see. No totally agree using campsites is a must in UK, so many places say no overnight so it's not easy to find freebie spots always.
Great video Guys, you two should be getting paid by the Irish Tourist Bord
Aaaww thanks ☺️ think the place sells itself though as it’s absolutely stunning 😍
When you get down to wicklow you need to go to powerscourt water fall and clendalough you won't be disappointed enjoy ireland
Thank you for the tips we’ll definitely add to the list 💚💚
be careful of the dogs on the wall with a drop on the other side as my jack russel went straight over one into a semi frozen river ....dropped 15 feet..if it had been on the ground he would have broken his legs...enjoy the journey..
Thanks for the tip, we do keep an eye on where they are … especially Emma 🐾👀👀👀 she doesn’t like them near heights, sorry that happened to yours and we are glad he was okay 🐾🐾
What a beach ❤
It’s a stunner of a beach 🏖️
Raven is gorgeous
She’s also a little mad head . But her and pickle are as thick as thieves . Dad is leading her astray lol
I've watched some dreadful, boring videos today.
Yooz two are excellent.
Naturals.
lol thank you we are totally new to the travel vlogs and it’s been a real learning curve and we are slowley getting the hang of it . Thank you for the kind words
Hi Both
My wife & I are in a similar position as yourselves, after 17 years renting the same house with very little work done to the house by the landlord. Then a few months ago he called in & told us that he will be putting the rent up shortly. I ask is that going to be before or after the 8 jobs that need doing on the house? To him laughing & walking out.
So the wife & I are thinking of moving into our motorhome & putting our stuff into storage.
My wife being a paramedic & me working with the ambulance service hopefully we will be ok to park up in the works car park when we are working & then get away from work when we don't have to be there.
Keep up the videos as they are giving us ideas.
Sorry for you both to be in that situation it really sucks, and unfortunately there are some shocking landlords out there who really just don’t care, there are also so lovely ones, hope you get yourselves sorted and find a way that works for you both!! 🫶
The government are paying top bat to landlords to house the illegals so the greedy landlords are turning family homes into HMO’s, it’s great if you have a van option but it doesn’t make it right.
Living the dream , do it before you get old
Never a truer statement
Sounded like you had two wooden legs, walking out that cave, Neil, lmao🤣
😂😂😂
If you failed and this became the Urban Cavelife channel I think I could watch that. With just a Sigmond the Sea Monster outfit you could probably work a few side gigs to make enough clams off tourists to keep things going. Maybe start adopting sea otters (people like watching otters, good for views). Then dress and act like you're on the Armstrong and Miller Show and I think you could go viral.
Sigmond the sea monster 😂😂😂
I am going through the exact same thing across the “pond” in Canada 🇨🇦Lazy landlord never fixed anything-raised rent then selling.Unfortunately I only have a minivan so mini-condo it will become
It’s a sad sign of the times that seems to be happening al over the world . Canada USA and uk and it’s all down to governments greed and people being bad humans . But we wish you the best of luck and you’ll be fine . You have a plan b so that’s a massive bonus . And the money you save on evey thing that mini van may end up being a big van in a few months .. and you’ll own it all ❤️❤️
Well done, great move, enjoy your travels, expand your horizons 😊
If you know where to go Ireland is absolutely beautiful.
It truly is!!! 💚
So ...how is this failing at vanlifer ? Also how do you afford it ? What's your jobs?
The title of the video is a question because ‘some people’ see using campsites as a fail when full time living in a van, also we both have worked full time for many years Neil as a DJ and me as a successful bar manager that’s how we managed to afford to build the van, feed ourselves, look after our furry family. Neil also works as an editor for other American channels and companies and I work remotely for a health and wellness company whilst I am also studying remotely to change my path in life after working and making money for other people for so long, hope this answers your questions.
Welcome to Ireland guys 😊
Thank you, what a wonderful place this is 💚
11 a.m. only referred to the day you were there. That could be high tide time within a week. It advances about 50-60 minutes per day. And that’s only a rough guide. It can be more or less. So 11 being low tide that day, 11.50 the following day, 12.55 the next, 2.15 the next and so on.
This is why we said for people to check for the tide times if they are going as no one needs to get stuck or put themselves in danger or other people in danger, we where actually there around 3/4 pm on that day not 11 am this is just what we where told by someone local
@@UrbanVanlife Sorry, I just read it back and it looks like I was contradicting you. I was just explaining the unpredictability. I live on the coast and have seen people misjudging the tide and losing their cars and in one case, her life. It often never occurs to people from inland that the tide changes how high it is or what time it is at.
Not at all, the more information people have for their safety the better, we only put snapshots of our days together in the videos so if people have good reliable information it’s always good but people should always always do their own research too!!! 😊
that sand looks imported.
Up the Peak District in England I stopped at a camp site and they charged me £10 for what they called a service. For that you got 4 hours and you can use all facilities. Showers washing electric hook up waste disposal etc. thought it was a great deal 👍🏻
That’s really good and there are a few that offer services for a nominal fee which is good but have seen a rise in places stopping it as some people are not playing by the rules which damages things for others!!
@@UrbanVanlife the few spoil it for the majority unfortunately.
Very true!
Another great volg guys are you going to visit campervibe ?? Loving this adventure can't wait to watch more thank you
We are taking it one day at a time yet and not making any plans as there is so much to see we don’t know where we will be from minute to the next 😂😂😂
I'd got visions of a little blue leprechaun running towards you when you said little blue guy..I suppose it would be an Irish smurf (or a Nac Mac Feegle...Google it lol) 😅
Considering I get called a Smurf a fair bit (Emma here) and I have never heard of the other one before and I googled …… I have no words 😂😂😂
@UrbanVanlife 🤣🤣🤣
Although, you could get your own back here, Emma..especially as a Nac Mac Feegle has red hair and a red beard...sound like anyone you know? (Sorry Neil) 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Be all right Neil Emma for wooly jumps and Lamb chops.
😂😂 do love a Wooly jumper!
From the south of ireland
The proper capital of ireland. CORK. Follow the channel all the time and love and ye do. Would love to meet and just say hello
. Big fan
We haven’t made it that far yet but looking forward to exploring everywhere we can!!! 💚
❤@@UrbanVanlife
4 animals and 2 people in one van? I Don't even get one cat because I live in a small space.
Get two cats 🐱
Love it
Thanks Pete ♥️
Thanks for taking us with you, very keen to travel round Ireland maybe even move. What was the backing track when you were on the beach/in the caves plse?
Not too sure what it was sorry but I know it was off artlist, Neil has a habit of deleting things after he’s used them and on artlist can’t get a history of tracks used
I am so jealous i would love to travel Ireland as there is one bar I would love to go to Turley Bar
If you get the chance to please do as it’s such an amazing place 💚💚
@@UrbanVanlife i want to see where are family came from I know we came from cork origanlly then to dublin then around the world lol
DID I SEE 👀 YOU PARKED IN DUBLIN ON THE RIVER LIFFEY.. WITH A YELLOW HIGH VIS ON THE DRIVERS MIRROR....
Sorry not us 🥲
Four dog's are too much, can I have one please 😊
See people see 4 dogs but if you put them all together size wise they only really make one medium sized one sooooo really we need more 😂😂
Looks a lovely place to go, just a thought when filming and driving might be a good idea to wear your seat belt before you convict yourself pmsl
Not allowed to technically film whilst driving either …..
Thanks for the video. Loving your Ireland tour. Whats the name of the Waterfall and Beach location please? I’ll definitely head there in my van.
Hi ya it’s the Assacarna waterfall did reply to this but signal was pants where I was, if you go to the description of the video we have put the town and the road in there of were it’s near
@@emmaurbanvanlife120 thanks a bunch 👍👍
makes sense using a campsite....
Gave us some time to do some cleaning 🧼 😂
Lots of landlords are selling up it seems.
Good job you were all prepped eh?
Many are less fortunate
Very true we are hearing more and more of it! And yes some people aren’t as fortune which is very sad 😔
New here,(kinda),just love ya'll s energy! How the heck do you do it with 4 pups?
You should've jumped in!
Aaawww thanks and welcome!! The pups are really well behaved to be fair!!! And Raven’s doing really well with her training as well (when she’s not chewing everything in sight) so it’s all good 😊
4 dogs in a van… holy smoke. I know it was thrust upon you obviously.
True it all happened very quickly but our four doggo’s are only small so really if you put them all together they just amount to the size of one big dog really …. Just extra legs, tails and nose boops ♥️🐾♥️
Did You Check if The House did go up for Sale ?
We didn’t mate to be honest . Left it behind us as moved on now
What a stunning place. But for your safety, wear a seatbelt.
I don't understand the title of the vid. Please tell me where you have failed.
The title is a question . Most people thing cos you go to a camp site you have failed so have we ?
@@UrbanVanlife OH! now I see said the blind man.
😂😂😂
didnt see any campsites just a oasis for campervans @@UrbanVanlife
@@UrbanVanlifeA question without a question mark? How GenZ is that? Lol😂 Yes, Ireland is 40 shades of green for a reason, but if you don’t like the weather sure come back in 20 minutes…..
