We are going to try and drive from Galway to Kenmare in one day. I thought it might be quicker and more interesting to cut through County Clare and take the Killimer Ferry across the Shannon River, then drive straight down to Tralee.<BR><BR>Is this quicker? How many hours do you think it will take to drive from Galway to Kenmare using this route?

Check out time and distance details on a website such as<BR><BR>http://www.shellgeostar.com/share/<BR><BR>Enter starting and ending points for your first try. Then do it again, adding Killimer or Tarbert as a stopover point between the end points.<BR><BR>Compare results. <BR>

Take the ferry. It's fun, and you'll love the countryside. From Galway, stop by the Cliffs of Moher on the way down. You may have to wait for the ferry -- not sure how often it runs, but there is a restaurant there. Stop in and have a beer during your wait.

The ferry runs from Killimer on the hour every hour throughout most of the year. Between, 6/1 and 9/30 it runs every half hour between 10:30 and 18:00. Here is the site for the full time table<BR>http://www.shannonferries.com/timetable/<BR><BR>Bill

We've taken the ferry on two separate trips. Seemed much faster and was a fun thing to do. There's another ferry that you can take to avoid Cork City.
