COM to Dingle

Posted by on

We are staying 2 nights in Liscannor and then driving to Dingle. We would like to visit the Cliffs at Kilkee and the loop drive, then ferry to Tarbet and down the coastal route to Dingle. Is this doable in one day? Or do I need an overnight in Kilrush area?

On to Kenmare after Dingle, then driving to Rock of Cashal and onto Navan,
Is it easy enough to get to Cashel from Kenmare? Is this doable inI one day? Kenmare to Cahir to Cashel then to Navan for an overnight on Sunday Aug 18

Thanks for your suggestions

Both drives are quite doable in one day, especially if you break them up with stops along the way as you propose.
Liscannor to Kilkee only takes about an hour along one of the prettier coastal drives in Ireland. About the only things that might slow you down will be the chance of bad weather that day or encountering congestion on the N road.
The Cliff Walk at Kilkee is terrific and should take about an hour give or take.
Likewise the drive around the peninsular loop won't take too long depending on stops to take photos, etc.
Coming into Dingle from the direction of the Tarbert Ferry will allow you to drive over Conor Pass - a very pretty way to go on a sunny day. If the weather is inclement you might want to give it a miss and just come in via the N road to the east. The drive over the pass is great but not much fun if it's foggy or rainy - and it necks down to a single lane in places requiring an extra bit of caution.
Kenmare to Navan will be a long day but a pleasant one if you take a break along the way at the ROC.
You can preview your daily drives by using the street view feature on Google maps. Most here suggest adding about 30% to the estimated drive times shown on driving apps, especially when using the N roads which can be slow going.
