Ireland by road, from short escapes to longer routes

With 35 driving itineraries spanning two days to two weeks, this guide organizes Ireland around routes rather than a single journey. Coverage reaches Dublin and eastern Ireland, Cork and the southwest, Galway and the west, and Belfast and the north. Each itinerary includes a map, directions, timing and distance details, plus suggestions for connecting with other drives. The book also gathers recommended stops and experiences, with food, scenery, historic monuments and outdoor activities among its subjects. Practical sections address arrival, car hire, accommodation, getting around, and driving and safety information, making route ideas and trip-planning resources part of the same volume.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Travelers planning a self-drive trip in Ireland
  • Visitors comparing routes of different lengths across Ireland
  • Drivers seeking maps, directions, local tips, and practical trip-planning information
