My first question : (1) We will be leaving Doolin, visiting the Cliffs of Moher and ending the day in Dingle. Would it be best to take the route through Limerick or the coastal route via the ferry? It appears that using the ferry will save miles but will it really save that much time? ALSO, on our approach into Dingle should we do the Conor Pass? It appears the pass itself is only 4 (slow) miles, but would that be the most direct route into Dingle. If not how much time would it add to the trip if we did the Pass?
Second Question (2) We can either leave from Killarney or Kenmare on our way to Kinsale. Would you recommend Killarney to Kinsale OR Kenmare to Kinsale via N-71. We probably would not take the time to drive the Beara Peninsula but we may drive part of the Peninsula. Does this route take you close enough to the coast to make it worthwhile? Lol, this route also looks like it involves one of those R roads for maybe 25 miles?
Third Question (3) I am finding that the trip planners online and the RS map have a big difference between the miles and the travel time to get between Kilkenny and Glendalough. RS says 95 miles 2.25 hr. The two online planners that we have checked are both 66 miles and 1.24 hr. I am sure what route the RS map takes because it is just an insert on the larger map. For those of you that have done this trip what say you?
Thank you!
