We will be traveling from Donegal to Dublin Airport 12/26 and I am looking for a stop that's not too off the beaten path (and open or accessible even if visitor center is closed. Ideally to stretch legs and take like an hour break. Likely leaving Donegal around 10:30am and returning car by 3:00pm. We are heading into the city center by cab for a final three days and have tentative plans at 5pm.
Our other option is to attend the St Stephens race meeting for the entire day, but while it looks fun it seems to be a logistic nightmare with luggage/car rental etc....
