This question goes out to all of your well traveled Ireland lovers!
If you only had time for one of these which would it be:
Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula or Cliffs of Moher and The Burren?
I need to cut something out of a hectic itinerary.
Thanks

If I had to pick, I'd probably go with the Cliffs. However, I suspect you may get more responses to this if you repost with Ireland in your title!

Jennifer I don't recall your itinerary but if I went to just one of those it would be ROK & Dingle.

I don't like the changes (massive car park) at the Cliffs and there are stunning cliffs all over Ireland. I do like the Burren but I guess I just think the peninsulas of SW Ireland are spectacular.

I would pick the Dingle Peninsula. I don't know your schedule but Dingle should get at least two days, three would be better.
If you have only one day, go to the Cliffs and you'll be able to see just a little of the Burren too.

Go to Dingle.

Skip the ROK and do just the Dingle peninsula.

I agree. Dingle instead of Ring of Kerry. You are going to miss all the tour buses.

I'd still make time for a stop at the Cliffs of Moher.

As much as I loved Dingle, I wouldn't miss the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren. I would have to say, skip Dingle if you have to, and keep the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren.

I see we have all clearly provided the answer you are seeking!

They have ruined the Cliffs...not the cliffs themselves but the area surrounding them.....however i still love that area....as well as Dingle..so it would be hard to choose and either choice would not be wrong

MaryZ

I'd pick Dingle, without a second thought.

chatham

I'd skip the Cliff of Moher and go to Dingle if you don't have time for both. It seems you could to both.

I loved both the Burren and Dingle. I'd try to do those two and skip the Cliffs. Depends, though, on how may days you are talking about (hope it isn't 'one'!)

GreenDragon

I was just there last month -- and loved all of the above. However, the Cliffs will only take a little while, and you could do that on the same day as a visit to the Burren. Dingle and ROK each deserve at least one day, more to do them justice.

If I had to choose just one of those, I'd choose Dingle as well. The sights are as stunning in ROK, but more crowded and commercialized. Dingle is more 'pure' still (great English there, eh?)

On you way down from Galway/Mayo, stop by the Cliffs of Moher (takes about 1 hour to see) on your way to Dingle. Skip the Burren and the ROK.

Oh, I forgot to mention, take a day away from Dublin and spend it in the SW area.
