Help! Itinerary SOS

Posted by on

Hi all! My husband and I and two kiddos (6 and 10) will be visiting Ireland in August. I just don't know if I can get our itinerary to work. We REALLY want to see Belfast and Cobh. My husband is a Titanic Historian and these are cannot miss locations. We have 6 days. How can we make both of these locations work without spending the whole time driving?!

So far we have:
Day 1: Dublin
Day 2: Head to Belfast (see drogheda, giant's causeway, antrim coast etc)
Day 3: Titanic Museum, Titanic Hotel
Day 4-6: ???

Can you help me fill in the blanks here and figure out a way to get to Cobh in a somewhat enjoyable way for the kids?
Thank you!!!

It would be best to fly into Belfast, and then to get from there to Cork it might be most enjoyable for all to take the train to Cork. Cobb is a short bus ride from Cork. Have you looked at taking a short flight from Cork to London to fly home from there? I don’t know if this is feasible, as you might end up at Gatwick airport instead of Heathrow, but it might be worth checking as it would save you having to backtrack to Dublin.
