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)

    • Hi, Looking for a bedframe with no head or footboard for a double mattress. Normal UK double. Ideally wood. If someone has one to sell or give away please get in touch, thank you!  
    • Great answer, but how do you then square it up with pension pots investments without adversely impacting future growth.  Buit of a tricky one as on one hand it should be nationalised but on the other we don't want to see future pension poverty relying on government top ups.  Far too complicated for a simple answer   
    • Driving down one of the side streets near the park last night we saw a group of kids in front holding a rope across the road. Did feel a little anxious and then when we got closer it turned out to be a harmless trick - nothing in the road/dangerous, just three kids on each side holding long twigs as if they were tugging a rope between them. i'm conflicted - quite a theatrical prank (I presume copied from online) but given the location could well have been the same group mentioned above. 
    • I have no idea, but not so difficult for one of them to stand to the side and record. In an odd way at least if they were doing it for social media it might explain the motivation, albeit misguided. Others may disagree, but that feels less worrying than a desire to intimidate.   I think comparable games like "knock down ginger" where children run away and/or momentarily stick their tongue out as cheeky gesture, have a different vibe to what is described here.
