Itinerary feedback southwest Beara-mizen-Cashel-boyne

Posted by on

Hello TA community. I need some help with the last few days of my 17 night itinerary as I have been rethinking things and n Ed your feedback. Originally was going to visit ROK, but my night is to nix that plan and go for the following.

  1. Wed, Aug 14 in Kenmare from Dingle via Killarney park stops. Sleep Kenmare
  2. Thurs, Aug 15 visit Beara Pen, return to Kenmare to sleep have reservation ( does this make sense?), can cancel. (My birthday...maybe I should do something special!)
  3. Fri, Aug 16. - Mizen head. Sleep where? Goal is to eventually make it to Navan
  4. Sat, Aug 17 - drive to visit Cahir and Cashel ( other sites?) can I make it to Navan or Trim for overnight? Recommendation)
  5. Sun Aug 18 - visit Boyne Valley sites sleep Navan
  6. Mon Aug 19 - New Grange early Morning, sleep near airport

Thanks for the expert advise and recommendations.
Karen

We visited the Mizen and Sheepshead peninsulas on our most recent trip to Ireland. They were OK, but the scenery was more bucolic than spectacular. I would not skip ROK to visit those two peninsulas - ROK is very scenic, especially the southern side. The Beara is also very scenic, especially the northern side.

Items 1 and 2 "make sense" to me. We based in Kenmare and drove the Beara Peninsula in a pleasant day-trip, getting back to Kenmare by dinner time. (You'll have no trouble finding a suitable site in Kenmare for your birthday celebration.)

Try to include the drive over the Healy Pass on the Beara Peninsula; do not, however, stop at the little bridge if you see an old guy in the road (https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g2065470-d216131-r587715218-Healy_Pass-Adrigole_County_Cork.html).

Also, the Kissane Farm sheep dog demonstration between Killarney and Kenmare might be of interest. The schedule is somewhat random, so check the calendar on their website when making plans: http://www.kissanesheepfarm.com/ It's a beautiful spot and the dogs are amazing.
