Product Information

Have a Guinness in the Temple Bar area.Temple Bar is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Dublin. It is bustling and lively and the perfect place to experience your first Irish pub! Temple Bar is a great place for dinner and a pint and even though it is “touristy” it is still a cool thing to visit in Dublin. Killarney National Park. The town of Killarney is located right on Killarney National Park and there is so much to see and do. We recommend driving through the Gap Of Dunloe and seeing Ladies View during your Ireland road trip stop in Killarney. This time we rented a fully kitted out campervan, and it was nice to have luxuries like running water, hot showers, a toilet (only number ones!!!), a heater (so good on those cold mornings) and a dining table to sit at. Dunquin Pier. Dunquin Pier is an iconic ‘postcard” destination on the Dingle Peninsula. It is located in the town of Dunquin on the Slea Head Drive loop and is actually a ferry pier. It is quite a good photo location for catching the sunset and you will have lots of fun walking down to the water.

All public roads which are not motorways, national roads or regional roads are local roads as its shown in Ireland roads map: "a public road, other than a national road or a regional road, shall be a local road". Local roads vary greatly in quality, from wide urban streets to very narrow, rural lanes, known as boreens in Ireland. There are three types of Local Road: Local Primary (local roads wider than 4 metres), Local Secondary (local roads narrower than 4 metres) and Local Tertiary (cul-de-sacs and other minor roads). Local roads are subject to a general speed limit of 80 km/h (imperial equivalent: 50 mph) or 50 km/h (imperial equivalent: 31.25 mph) in built-up areas. Local roads are not generally referred to by number, but are registered with a four- or five-digit "L" number, taking the form Lxxxx. Once you get on the other side drive out to Loop Head Peninsula, home to some of the most wonderful cliffs in the entire country, and they’re completely free!

For this Ireland road trip itinerary, we are not specifying an amount of time so that you can make the drive as time allows for your schedule. This captivating area is home to the Slea Head Drive, another magnificent loop that features rolling hills jutting up against steep ocean cliffs. Dublin is experiencing a shortage of hotel rooms and as a result, prices are sky-high! As a result, we recommend spending a shorter amount of time in Dublin to leave time for the rest of your Ireland road trip itinerary. We have an entire post about Where To Stay In Dublin if you are looking for more information. This post breaks down our favorite areas in Dublin and helps you plan and choose which area is best for you! Sheep wandered on the steep farmland with an impossible ocean vista rolling out in every direction. Hills climbed all around us, offering great hiking for those feeling active. You’ll be spending the next few days in Northern Ireland, which means you’ll get to visit one of the United Kingdom’s most popular tourist attractions, the Giant’s Causeway.

We ended up watching sunset from a water reservoir that looked out over the whole town of Keel, and finding a place to camp next to an inland lake close by. We all need to protect our eyesfrom the sun’s harmful UVA/UVB rays. These unisex polarized sunglassescome in a lot of lens colors and frame designs and are extremely affordable too. And though rental companies will still offer you a large, multifold map if you request one, those are not the best road map of Ireland for your vacation. GPS, Wifi, and Mobile Data May Not Always Work What we did see though made us fall in love with Ireland even more, and we’re already making plans on returning in the near future for a longer trip.You can begin your journey in this fascinating area with a night (or more) at Waterford, delving into the Viking history that has been around for over 1000 years. Don’t miss out on the King of the Vikings virtual reality exhibition! If you are looking for a more local and affordable experience, the Maranatha Country House is just the place to stay for you. It is a little outside of Blarney but it isn’t that far at all! It is cute and affordable and traditionally Irish. It's always good to have a general idea of the direction you are facing when you are using a map. If you're not able to tell direction by the position of the sun (definitely not a skill I claim to own) or don't have a rental car that tells you which direction you are heading, you can't go wrong by keeping a small compass in your travel bag. (Also handy if you decide to go for a walk in a wooded area and lose your way. Yes, I'm speaking from experience.) One of the most remarkable things about Newgrange is that the entrance passage is aligned to let in a beam of light during sunrise during the winter solstice.
