4 nights in Ireland?

Question

Mum and I travelling to Ireland (from Australia) for 4 nights in September (we are having a few weeks in Europe and UK as well). We are down to have 2 nights in Dublin and have 2 days car hire and 2 nights somewhere else. I am trying to work out the 'somewhere else' I know there are so many beautiful things to see and do but could anyone give me some recommendations of a place we can stay for those two nights that isn't to far from Dublin we don't want to spend all our time driving but will be worthwhile to see and may have a few attractions around it. Thank you.

Answer 2

you could try meath, its not far from dublin about sixty miles. it has lots of interesting places such as hill of tara, newgrange,old castles and high crosses.you could stay in Navan and go shopping altough the shops are better in dublin!

Answer 3

Your probably better off staying close to Dublin so around Kildare, Wicklow or Meath maybe suitable. Here are some websites which may help. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your stay no matter what you do!!!

Answer 4

Go to Galway, on the opposite side of the island and drive out from there - north and south both offer lots of sights and beautiful countryside.  Connemara, Blarney, Waterford, Cliffs of Moher, Giant's Causeway, Ring of Kerry, Kylemore Abby, the Aran Islands, etc. are all great sites to see and experience.

A fifth day would make a big difference, though, so you don't feel like you're losing so much time driving.
