We're thinking of visiting Ireland for the first time in April with 2 year old twins. Can anyone give recommendations for a good base location for day trips? Dublin isn't really an option as cities are too difficult with the twins. Anywhere with gorgeous scenery and interesting historical landmarks would be appreciated. We'll have a rental car.

Thank you!

West cork a great choice


West generally... South Kerry, north Clare


Ballyvaughan is a particular favourite of mine. Small small town in gorgeous location. Just a couple of pubs and restaurants but so handy for many beaches and the burren


Galway a short drive away for a bigger day out



Bias means I should mention my hometown of youghal in co cork as well


Longest beach in many countries


Bustling town


Handy for cork and Waterford cities


Kinsale harbor and gastro centre nearby


East coast Ireland is a bit Home Counties England by comparison


Middle Ireland (athlone etc) is a lot of flat bog land


Draw a line from Waterford through cork and coastal cork, Kerry and Clare up to Galway and Sligo and you'll be in right ball park


(North Kerry and south Clare a slight exception. A bit more hard bitten and less touristy. As a rule. Still some nice spots tho)

    • Try and read before commenting Sep, or you will, as you have done, not be relevant
    • if anyone believes Reform is a party they can trust then they really don't need to be insulted by me - they are doing all the damage themselves If people don't like the state the country is in they should question why Farage fought for Brexit and why it continues to damage the country so much. He and you will splutter it wasn't done properly but if you can't see the contradictions I can't help you
    • It's not incredibly difficult to understand that people vote Reform because they don't want the Tories back and they don't like Labour and they don't like the state the country is in. It hardly makes them "criminally negligent" - in fact, Sepiroth,  you can just stop insulting people just because you don't like what they have to say - it doesn't really add to your credibility. While Sep says "What the country needs is a serious, mature electorate", what the country REALLY needs is a party that we can trust - and that we do not have.  There is no point at all in having a serious and mature electorate if we don't have a serious and mature party to get vote for.
    • mine's the same - use shears, then mow, but I only do a part of the lawn - the rest is covered in daisies, violets and other flowers, so I leave it. I have to be very careful though - we have slow worms
