Ireland Summer Vacation

Have a couple of weeks off next month and instead of the usual foreign holiday this year we've decided to travel around. Kids are actually excited to see more of Ireland and I'm actually ashamed to say it's taken covid for me to consider travelling around Ireland. We've hired a camper van.

I guess my question would be is there any must see places in Ireland? Taking into account I'll have two kids with me. 9 and 11.

Allow me to promote the virtues of Cork... Fota, Trabolgan, Spike Island, Kinsale (fishing trips, surfing at Garrettstown beach) English Market.. Cracking good food, great pubs and good looking swingers.

I think the ring of Kerry is a must

cork: I highly recommend trabolgan or fota wildlife great for kids and grown ups

Galway: salthill is a popular place for families

Clare: bunratty castle is great and so is the food dirty Nelly's I think the place is called

Nothing in particular as my kids are into everything. So anything goes really. I do love Kerry. Although it's was many moons ago since I've been.

Trip Advisor is great for finding things that you'd never even think of and off the beaten track that kids love

Slea Head is Kerry had a wacky museum in a house run by an American Guy

Fort Dunree in Donegal

Never knew about them until i looked up Trip Advisor

Antrim Town

Cahir Co Tipp had a campsite on an apple farm, if you stayed a night you got a bottle of their apple juice, great wee spot, kids could play football and had tennis court too.

Really depends on what activities you'd like best. Somewhere with tracks and trails for walks. Beaches. Caravan parks with kids activities. Cities. Museums and castles etc. Scenic drives and nice villages. The list is endless.

With those pics, please come up to Northern Ireland lol

Do the Antrim coast road, plenty of places to pull in for the night.

And as the kids like surfing there are good surf schools in Portrush and Benone beach.

Everyone has to see the giant’s causeway at some point, and Carrick-a-rede rope bridge.

Sligo is a good spot. Beaches just outside the town and lpads of surfing classes too. Nice beaches too. And you have the option of traveling up north a bit too.

It will be hard to beat Donegal but trip needs to be well planned as its such a big county and with a campervan you could use up a lot of time travelling. If you want I could do out a schedule for you for two weeks that maximises your time and gives you the best of Donegal.

Whatever you decide make it special and remember......you are creating memories and that's priceless
