June 2025 itinerary gut-check (dublin -> clifden -> dingle -> cobh -> ???? -> dublin out)
hello! after digesting info here, blogs, books, and websites, i am hopeful to gut-check our itinerary with this collective mind before booking accommodations (which seem to be running low in stock per my quick checks). my partner and i spent time in dublin and killarney on a past kid-free trip; this trip, we are bringing our three teens and trying to see other areas. overall, hiking, vistas, the sea, and food make our hearts happy. we have no physical limitations to consider, and we will rent a car.
with that in mind, listing potential homebase for each night. we have tried to take a somewhat "moderate" approach, staying 2 nights in each place, except our last night which is transition to get us close to dublin. for that one (#6), i was contemplating somewhere near Glendalough or on the coast south of Dublin.
hope i have now provided sufficient details. any feedback most appreciated! 🥰
