Wandering between the Burren and Glendalough for 2 nights - suggestions?

Welcome,

I am assuming you mean Glendalough Wicklow.

With only two days I would be tempted just to head across county via Bunratty (Castle, Folk Park) Knappogue (Castle, Walled Garden) Killaloe/Ballina (Lough Derg, Craggaunowen, Irish seed savers). Cahir (Castle, Swiss Cottage) Cashel (Rock of Cashel) and Kilkenny (Castle, Abbey's, Cathedral, Caves).

I feel it would the the long way heading down to Blarney (Castle, Gardens) Fota (House, Gardens, Wildlife) Cobh (Museums, Cathedral) then Middleton (Jamesons Distillery) Youghal, Dungarvan, Waterford (new Crystal centre) and Kilkenny.

But those would be the options and both would suit the interests list. Hope it helps.

lmcknash,

Tony has some good suggestions for you. I will add Vandeleur walled garden to the list. It is near Kilrush. Have you heard of Loop Head? It is the tip of Co. Clare and definitely off the usual tourist trail. You might be able to do both during your time in the Burren.

Since you like small towns, Bunratty and Cashel might work for your in between days. There is plenty to see and do around both of them as Tony has outlined.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
