proposed ireland itinerary
 

I'm the designated trip planner for our trip to Ireland next spring-maybe a 10-day trip. I'm not a big fan of driving on the left side of the road. here is my basic plan

fly into Dublin, stay 2 nights.
3d day-train to Galway city, explore Galway,
4th day-Cliffs of Mohar tour.
5th day-go to Ballynahinch Castle Hotel
6th and 7th day-go to Dromoland Castle Hotel
8th day-fly home from Shannon AP

I'm a bit undecided about Dublin-is dublin worth it, or should we fly in and out of Shannon and do more on the west coast? are there other tours out of Galway that might be interesting?.

wanting comments on a tentative ireland itinerary
 

I am planning a trip for late April 2023. Here is my current plan

fly into dublin-2 nights in dublin

3d day-train to Galway city,l explore Galway
4th day-tour of cliffs of Mohar
5th day-go to Ballynahinch Castle hotel
6th and 7th days-stay at dromoland Castle hotel

8th fly home from shannon AP

we could stay a few more days if there would be something special to do. we could take some more day trips from Galway. also, we could fly into shannon and not dublin if we decide to give dublin a pass and to stay on the west side./

Your two threads have been merged

just found a very helpful thread that recommended a number of other spots to visit, such as Glandabough, Kilkenny, Rock of Cashel, Cahir castle, Athassel,connemora and dingle.. May have to seriously rethink my plans.,
