Second trip to Ireland, Southwest only this time

Posted by on

This is a potential itinerary that I would love feedback on. We will arrive early in the morning in Shannon, late August 2020 and drive to

  1. Ennis for one night. Rest and take a walking tour.
  2. Doolin for 3 nights- Burren walk, Inis Mor? Doolin
  3. Drive to Eyeries for 2 nights? On the way visit Gleninchinquin park. We want to explore the Beara Peninsula. Where is the best town to stay in to explore this area?
  4. Drive to Kinsale for 2 or 3 nights? Explore West Cork, Cobh and Kinsale
  5. Drive toward the Shannon airport for our last night. Considering Limerick- The George Hotel.

This is a 12 day itinerary with 2 days being mostly consumed with flights. We are flexible with our travel days and dates. Are we missing out on anything? On our prior trip we went to Dingle, Doolin, Mayo, Connemara and Dublin, saw the Cliffs of Moher. Thank you for input.

We stayed in Kenmare when visiting Beara, it was pretty handy to both Beara and to the Ring of Kerry. We hired a private tour for the RofK tour and he ws great and helped us plan our self drive of Beara. Kenmare is not really out on Beara but is pretty well situated for visits in the area. Paul Brown was our tour guy and he is awesome, give it some thought for a day away from behind the steering wheel!! http://www.kenmaretaxitours.com/home.html Up in Doolin we enjoyed an early evening at the Doolin Music house, give it a try if your schedule works out, you can still go to the pubs that evening for dinner and more great music,. https://www.doolinmusichouse.com We stayed at the Daley House in Doolin http://dalyshouse.com/ and it was great. We enjoyed the https://www.ashfieldkenmare.com/ for Kenmare laid back B&B. Here is a helpful Beara link. http://www.bearatourism.com/bearaway.html
