Doolin and Cliffs of Moher the first day

CowboyCraic · Guru

I have always wondered at the theory of going up to travel down, as in Doolin before Dingle, so many folks do it thusly. I however, would probably travel Dingle, Killarney, Kinsale and then Ennis not Doolin.

I would probably work something like this:

9/3 & 4 Dingle
9/5 6 & 7 Killarney
9/8 & 9 Kinsale
9/10 & 11 Ennis

You really need two days to explore the Dingle area. Ennis as the last stop will put you at a good vantage for both the airport on the 12th and for a day of driving to explore the Cliffs of Moher, lunch & shopping in Doolin, a drive through the Burren. Top that off with some fantastic Trad music in the Ennis pubs and you have a nice package, indeed. Kinsale does have some excellent restaurants but for that matter so does Killarney (Menton's for one) & Kenmare (Limetree is my favorite).

Have a fabulous time and a grand adventure!

LindainOhio,

Well you have to get up to the cliffs some time during your trip and since it is just a 1 1/2 hour drive on your first day, staying in Doolin is doable. I think you are right not driving too far after a long flight and with jet-lag. It affects people differently. I think your itinerary looks good and I like the fact that most of your overnights are multiple-night stays.

Change your reservations for your first night in Doolin and then proceed with the rest of the trip as outlined. That way you only need change one reservation. Let Annette at The Shores know right away.

I think your best days for golfing will probably be in Killarney.
