Starting off in Dublin, you will have time to absorb the charm of our capital city, be it a pint of Guinness in the Storehouse, the Georgian Squares or charming cobbled streets of Temple Bar, there is plenty to offer all types of visitor! With two days here you have plenty of time to visit the sights, and even a day-trip to the environs of Dublin-Wicklow known as the Garden of Ireland or the beautiful North Dublin Coast Line.

 

From Dublin you make the short journey to Waterford, where you can visit the iconic Waterford Crystal Factory or journey on to the Copper Coast. Your journey will continue on to Cork, The Rebel County. Cork is a bustling city on the south coast of Ireland where culture and heritage abounds. You can visit the the old gaol (jail & pronounced jail too) or the seaside town of Kinsale. Old Head Golf Course is there for the golfer who dares!

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text][post-content id=8270][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The road continues to the charming Kerry, as known as The Kingdom. Dramatic scenery of the sea, mountains and lakes awaits you – so many photo opportunities of scenery, people and craic (Irish for fun). With two days here you have time to do the famous Ring of Kerry, a boat trip to the Skelligs weather permitting (location of the filming of the new Star Wars movie) or horse and trap trip through the Gap of Dunloe, so much to choose from! Staying on the west coast you cross into Clare; a must-see are the Cliffs of Moher (Harry Potter quidditch scenes were filmed here). Stop in to a traditional pub for an Irish music session and more banter!

 

The port city of Galway will wrap you in its romantic charm. The Spanish Armada sought refuge here from stormy seas in 1588 and many stayed as they found the people so welcoming and charming! Hopefully your time here will be as lasting. With 2 nights in Galway you can venture further west into Connemara and experience some of the Wild Atlantic Way. Connemara is a place of intense beauty; barren landscape, stunning Atlantic views and welcoming villages serving some of the best food around. Mayo is one of Ireland’s unsung beauties and well worth a visit; Croagh Patrick, Ceide Fields or Achill Island are some of the highlights. 

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]

From Mayo your onward journey leads you to the North West of Ireland to County Donegal. The Slieve League Cliffs are said by some to be the most dramatic in Ireland – you can be the judge and let us know what you think!! Crossing the north coast of Ireland there are many stops off to enjoy before arriving in Belfast; Dunluce Castle, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge or Bushmills Distillery. With Belfast as your base for the next 2 nights there is plenty to do and see; Titanic Centre built beside where Titanic was commissioned, Black Taxi Tour of Belfast’s history or even a trip on the River Lagan.

 

Your final journey sees you return to Meath before heading back home. Why not swing by the Megalithic Tombs of Newgrange or Trim Castle (where Braveheart was filmed with Mel Gibson)? After two weeks in Ireland you will nearly be able to call yourself Irish with the knowledge and stories that you will have gathered from all our shores. Without a doubt you will be a fully-fledged Irish Ambassador in culture, heritage & most importantly craic!  This self drive tour ranks among the best of our driving tours of Ireland.
