A Terrific 7 Day Western Ireland Travel Itinerary



If you’ve gotten sufficient time, you can hike Mount Brandon, Ireland’s second highest mountain. The Mount Brandon from Baille Breac climbing route in Ballybrack takes 3-4 hours up and down and is a reasonable hike. This is probably the most direct route up the mountain. If you desire to a information to take you, Celtic Nature Walking Tours does a incredible job. I like climbing by myself, however going with a information provides you an opportunity to study extra concerning the nature surrounding you and the individuals who have survived on this rugged panorama. It additionally provides you an opportunity to fulfill one other native, and (as talked about) I believe assembly the folks is basically top-of-the-line components of touring in Ireland.

I additionally advocate spending a while in Killarney National Park. Head over to Killarney early sooner or later and wander this quaint, great city. If you want biking, then you possibly can try Killarney Bike Rental to lease some bikes. Directly throughout from the place you possibly can choose up your bikes, you possibly can take the cycle path to the nationwide park.  Biking right here is safer than on the roads on Dingle, and it’s completely lovely.

Another nice plan is to bike the Gap of Dunloe. You can take a 2-hour boat journey via the Lakes of Killarney. You then cycle again via the Gap of Dunloe. Killarney Bike Rental provides you with particulars in the event you ask. Take a picnic lunch with you (make preparations in Dingle earlier than you permit or choose up provides in Killarney).

Which Direction ought to I am going on the Dingle Peninsula?

On Dingle, tour busses drive clockwise. For the Slea Head portion of the drive, additionally, you will wish to go clockwise on Dingle. That approach, you aren’t making an attempt to get previous them on a particularly slim street coming from the opposite course. If you’re going clockwise, you might be additionally on the coast facet of the street so that you’ll have higher views.

Which Direction ought to I am going on the Ring of Kerry?

In making your plans, know that tour busses drive counterclockwise across the Ring of Kerry. Therefore, you’ll in all probability wish to drive clockwise any time you might be on “the ring” if you wish to keep away from getting caught behind a bus. Don’t attempt to journey the Ring of Kerry too quick. It is supposed to be loved. Again, cease when one thing is fascinating (you’ll be stopping so much!).

Spend 2-3 nights in Dingle, exploring this space. Really settle in and revel in it. Take your time. Soak it in. Talk to the locals. You might not wish to go away. However, you solely have 7 days, so it’s time to maneuver on. Plan to go north.

Head north to Doolin

Doolin is a tiny little place, however I like it and I believe you’ll too. Lots of different folks like it too, although, so it could get busy at occasions. Staying in a single day provides you an opportunity to take pleasure in it with out all the opposite folks. You’ll doubtless be out and about throughout the day, so staying in a single day right here provides you an opportunity to really feel extra like an area. But in the event you don’t wish to keep on this little “hub” you possibly can keep within the surrounding space, however make sure to go to Doolin if you are close by.

In order to avoid wasting time coming from Dingle, I like to recommend taking the ferry from Tarbert throughout the Shannon River. Booking your ferry reservations upfront will prevent some cash however not assure you a spot on the ferry. Shannon Ferries has famous that the ferries run on a primary come, first served foundation, so make sure to arrive early. Taking the ferry is basically quite a lot of enjoyable! Your drive from Dingle to Doolin ought to take about 3 hours. Again, make sure to cease and see something that you simply discover intriguing alongside the way in which. This is all concerning the journey.
