Dina and I have had two holidays in the west of Ireland driving bits of the Wild Atlantic Way (google it) staying in pubs/small hotels and sticking to the roads, many of which are Panda friendly - narrow, twisting, often with grass growing in the middle and with great scenery everywhere. The weather was good too, which I'm told is unusual on the West Coast. Our last trip was in late September 2017, we caught the night ferry from Pembroke at 02:45 arriving Rosslare 06:45 (there are also ferries from Holyhead to Dublin for those of you up north) then spent six days driving around before catching the 20:45 ferry home, landing back in Wales at 00:46. Did the Ring of Kerry on our first trip, this last one we drove from Ennis up to Westport doing touristy things like the Cliffs of Moher, Achill Island and of course Father Ted's house.The west coast is a popular area so we tried to avoid the school holidays, think Cornwall in summer, narrow roads and plenty of caravans but once away from the main tourist hot-spots and the major roads there wasn't much traffic and the driving relatively stress free, all very enjoyable and highly recommended.
