Road Trips in Ireland: find your perfect rental from just £40 per night!
What follows is a summary of just five of the top destinations and areas that travellers will definitely enjoy visiting. There is more to see and do in Ireland, and it is well worth planning your trip carefully so that you don't regret not having seen everything !
Don't make the mistake of thinking that a day will be enough to see this capital city. Dublin requires at least two days to do its offerings justice. Dublin is the home of Guinness beer: the Guinness Storehouse is a must-visit for the story and history of this legendary beverage. Trinity College and the Book of Kells, as well as Dublin Castle and the many churches, will provide the cultural fix during your visit. A walk through the beautiful St Stephen's green will bring you in touch with nature, in the centre of this modern city.
Use Cork (which is not far from Dublin) as your anchor for your exploration of Ireland's ancient east. The town of Cobh was the last stop of the Titanic before it left on its fateful voyage; a local museum pays tribute to the ship. The Blarney Estate is an essential destination - you will need a day to explore the castle, the manor, and to kiss the Blarney Stone.
Be aware that the roads are narrow and winding - the requisite care will keep you safe. You can explore the Kerry Cliffs, or take a ferry trip across to Valentia Island. From the Skellig Ring (at the end of the Ring of Kerry), you will see the Skellig Islands where Star Wars was filmed.
Muckrock House and Killarney House are beautiful attractions in Killarney, as are the Torc Waterfall and Ross Castle. Add a drive through the Killarney National Park to your road-tripping list. Do take time to enjoy the town centre - quaint and characterful, and you can partake in the town's long tradition of horse and carriage rides.
The Cliffs of Moher are known internationally for their rugged beauty and their sea and bird life. Walking the cliff paths provides magnificent views of a truly breathtaking natural phenomenon.
