The journey through Ireland by campervan starts from Dublin, first passing through Glendalough. Then, the ancient county of Kilkenny (known as “the Marble City” even though the buildings were constructed with limestone and not marble) with its medieval town, then Cashel for the Rock of Cashel, better known as the Rock of St. Patrick, and also known as Cashel of the Kings, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in Ireland.
The journey continues to Cork, Ireland’s second city, described by locals as “the real capital of Ireland“. It is a liberal, young, and cosmopolitan place, happily traditional with cozy pubs and live music, restaurants offering high-quality local products.
Then Kinsale, the temple of Irish gastronomy, rich with colorful buildings, restaurants, and pubs. Next is the Beara Peninsula, a place of endless beauty and few tourists, where you can admire some of Ireland’s most evocative and authentic landscapes, alternating between colorful villages and lonely stretches for miles and miles.
The Killarney Park is a lush area full of vegetation, lakes, and numerous cycling and walking paths; the most popular routes are: the gorge “Gap of Dungloe”, accessible by bike, on foot, or horseback, the lake tour “Muckross Lake” with a view of the 20-meter waterfall “Torc Waterfall”, Muckross House, and the Ross Castle.
The next stop is Inch Beach, a splendid sandy beach about 5 kilometers long. The road runs along cliffs steeply overlooking the sea where the waves crash violently; the landscape is a succession of cliffs and intensely green meadows, interrupted only by dry stone walls that host white flocks of sheep.
Then Slea Head, the tip of the Dingle Peninsula, characterized by large cliffs plunging into the sea and a sandy beach, then the port of Tarbert to take the ferry to Doolin, renowned for the best folk music played in pubs at night and to see the Cliffs of Moher, moving on to the Burren region, following a circular route that crosses the heart of the area, passing through Killinaboy, Carran, and the famous Dolmen of Poulnabrone.
In Galway, the historic center is very charming, then Clifden, to enjoy the typical environment of Connemara: small lakes, marshes with multicolored algae, islets, and in the background the mountains.
Then the Kylemore Abbey, overlooking the homonymous lake, then the Monastery of Clonmacnoise, one of the best known and celebrated in Ireland, then cross the Slieve Bloom Mountains, a small mountain range whose highest point is about 500 meters, then the town of Kilkenny, lively and full of traditional pubs to arrive in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, birthplace of James Joyce and Oscar Wilde.
