Tour of Southwest Ireland
Cruise through three historical counties—Kerry, Cork, and Limerick—in a manual-shift rental car on this 8-day vacation from Great Value Vacations. Along the way, you’ll see medieval castles, shimmering loughs (lakes), and stunning views of the coastline. There’s no set itinerary, but we’ve included a few suggestions below. The vacation includes:
- Round-trip economy class airfare from New York (JFK), Boston (BOS), San Francisco (SFO), or Los Angeles (LAX).
- Manual shift economy size car rental
- 1-night stay at the Limerick City Hotel in Limerick
- 2-night stay at the 4-star Fels Point Hotel in County Kerry
- 2-night stay at the 4-star Blarney Hotel Golf and Spa Resort in County Cork
- 1-night stay at the Inn at Dromoland in County Clare
Limerick
- Must-see attraction: Check out a trebuchet and other medieval relics at King John’s Castle, the city’s most famous attraction.
- Claim to fame: Limerick served as a setting in Frank McCourt’s well-known memoir, Angela’s Ashes, though the city has been significantly revitalized since the 1930s and ‘40s.
- Eat like a local: Sink your teeth into a chunk of Limerick ham, which is traditionally boiled in a sugary apple cider.
County Kerry
- Must-do scenic drive: the Ring of Kerry; this 111-mile drive loops around the Iveragh Peninsula, passing beaches, medieval ruins, and loughs along the way.
- Killarney National Park contains the country’s highest mountain range, MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, which rises more than 3,000 feet tall. Enjoy the views while hiking or driving the park.
- Tour Ross Castle on the shores of Lough Leane. The restored 15th century castle offers guided tours March–October.
County Cork
- Must-see attraction: Kissing the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle is an Irish tradition, but the real gem here is the castle’s magical gardens, which even has one of the country’s few poison plant gardens.
- Sample local eats at The English Market in the middle of Cork, where vendors hawk ham and cheeses, farm-fresh produce, and smoked salmon.
- Climb to the top of Charles Fort in Kinsale for panoramic views of the bay.
County Clare
- Must-see attraction: Cliffs of Moher, where you can stroll atop the coastal cliffs and look for the colony of Atlantic puffins that makes its home on Goat Island.
- Bunratty Castle: This medieval fortress is open for tours all year long; be sure to spend some time wandering through the adjacent Folk Park, a replica of a 19th-century Irish village—including a working pub.
- Snap a pic of the Northern Hemisphere’s longest free-hanging stalactite at Doolin Cave.
