Jeff's Tour of Ireland

Jeff is planning a tour of Ireland, details are as follows :

Tour of Ireland/Wild Atlantic Way

We are planning a 7 day tour of Ireland which will incorporate some of the finest scenery Ireland has to offer including the Wicklow Mountains, The Wild Atlantic Way and The Ring of Kerry.

We will be leaving from Holyhead on 10th September at 8am and returning on 17th September at approx Midnight.

The cost of the ferry (Return) is £110 for Single riders (+Bike) or £180 (+Bike & Pillion) booked through http://www.directferries.co.uk/ and the cost of hotels for the 7 nights is approx £400 single or £600 for doubles. The places we are staying have more than one hotel so there are lower / higher priced options available to suit any budget.

The pace will be relaxed and will include lots of stops for refreshments and photo opportunities.

We will be mostly following pre planned routes which will be avaiilable in either Garmin or Tomtom format and will likely average between 150 - 200 miles per day

The list below includes the Hotels we have booked and the date of each destination.

You can choose to stay in the same hotels (subject to availability) or choose an alternative nearby.

Mcarthys B&B, Clonmel 10th

O Donovan's Hotel, Clonakilty 11th

Castle Lodge , Kilarney 12th

Ashford Court Boutique Hotel, Ennis 13th

Dun Ri Guesthouse, Clifden , 14th

They are not the cheapest hotels but all have off street parking for the bikes and somewhere close by to eat / drink in the evening. 

All of the hotels and alternatives in the area can be found on Booking.com

Anyone wishing to join us on all or part of this trip is more than welcome but will be responsible for booking their own Hotels and Ferries.
