The first of January I'll be travelling to the Dingle Peninsula, staying in Cloghane/Brandon and taking my dog with me. Everything is sorted out, booked etc, Irish Ferries have been more than accomodating which leaves me with two questions for now:
Is there a large supermarket in or close to Cloghane or is it better to stock up on the way? Does anyone know a good place halfway from Dublin to Cloghane where I can let the dog have a good run?
A lot would depend upon routing. If you are arriving via Limerick and Tralee, by car from the Dublin Airport, Google Maps says that it's about a 4 hour drive. Personally, I would guess closer to 5.
A bit further on (Shortly after Limerick -- about 45 minutes - 1 hour past Moneygall) would be Adare, where there are ample facilities and car parking, as well as a lovely green / town park.
Just beyond Adare, you pass right by a decent-sized Tesco. I'm not sure what is readily available -- shopping-wise -- in the vicinity of the Tralee bypass.
