Going to Dublin, IR in June and would like to go on a few driving day trips, any suggestions?

Do you want to see the North or the South of the Country? Have a think about it and let me know and I will try to help you out.

We are open.....I believe we are renting a car.

If you rent a car you can travel anywhere, but if you want to return that night to Dublin, you dont obviously want to travel too far.

Good places to visit and do in a day would be.

Glendalough & Avoca - Co Wicklow

Powerscourt Gardens & Waterfall - Co Wicklow.

Kilkenny. - Castles etc
Wexford. Beaches
Arklow. Pottery, beaches.
Newgrange Hill of Tara - Co. Meath.
Bray, Beach and Seafront.

You can also take the high speed Ferry to Wales for a day.

If you want to see Belfast its possible to do a return trip in a day.

I will get back to you with more trips, but I need to have a think about what might be interesting for a visitor to see.

thanks for all your help. I will look into some of these. and yes, these would only be day trips, since we have already booked our hotel for Dublin.
