Did you know?
The Atlantic waters around Cape Clear Island, County Cork, the most southerly tip of Ireland, is a popular service station not only for seals, but for migrating birds, whales, sharks and dolphins. And you might not know it, but West Cork is now regarded as one of the best places for whale watching in Europe. The best time to go is from September to November.

Take to the open road with an  exhilarating drive through Ireland.  Is there any better way to see a country?

EXPERIENCE IRELAND – Car Touring

Dromoland Castle
That’s easy. Renting a car in Ireland gives you a major flexibility and allows you to get to those faraway places, which otherwise you might not be able to see.
Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge

Like where, for example?

Well, take the Ring of Kerry  or the Ring of Beara for starters. You really need to have a car with you to make the most of both these places – unless, of course, you’re feeling energetic enough to do them by bike! Then there’s the stunning  Causeway Coastal Route, which weaves through exceptional glens and offers some of the country’s most dramatic views; the beautiful Sally Gap drive in  County Wicklow and its breathtaking scenery; and the remarkable Burren drive, which takes you through the arresting limestone plateau of the wide craggy Burren, one of Ireland’s most outstanding natural attractions. 
Achill Island

I don’t want to be one of a crowd, where can I go?

Well, the other wonderful benefit to traveling by car  around Ireland is getting off the beaten track and discovering a deserted beach, a remote country pub, a staggering cliff face or even just enjoying the winding country roads, which cut through spectacular scenery and are frequently dotted with sheep – so take care! If you want to get away from it all, you can take to the hills or delve into a wooded glen – all at your own pace!
