Give Yourself Taste of Ireland in This Charming Maine Town

Ever since I was a young girl, I've dreamed of visiting Ireland.

My dad once took my grandmother there and had the owner of their bed-and-breakfast call me just so I could hear her beautiful Irish accent. It was such a special moment for me.

Though Outlander, one of my favorite shows, is set in Scotland, my desire to visit both Scotland and Ireland has only grown stronger.

But here's what rings true for all of us, traveling there is incredibly expensive. An overseas trip may not be feasible just yet.

But until we can all make it to Ireland, we have an alternative right here in Maine. I'm talking about Camden!

According to Onlyinyourstate, a couple of travelers visited Ireland for a wedding. What resulted in that once-in-a-lifetime trip was a deep need to return. But because it's so expensive, this couple says that Camden, Maine mirrors Ireland significantly.

So let's take a look, shall we!

The article read that towns like Lahinch, Ireland, have a ton common with Camden.

This connection most likely comes from the Irish immigrants who arrived in Maine in the 1800s, bringing their design to Camden, as per the post.

The town, with its narrow streets and charm, closely resembles Ireland. Camden really is like a little sleepy, seaside Irish town.

The traveler said, "With its narrow streets and antique charm, Camden has a lot in common with the seaside Irish towns I visited."
