Hi Kerri,

Thanks for sending us your itinerary, it looks like you have a lovely time planned indeed!

There is plenty to keep you busy in Dublin on your first day before setting off on your tour to Waterford. If you have the time, a drive through the Wicklow Mountains on the way to Kilkenny would be a lovely time. June is a great time to visit, long daylight days give you lots of time to spend out and about.

From Waterford to Cork, either take the coastal route and include Cobh, or head more inland and possibly see the Rock of Cashel or Cahir Castle before arriving at Blarney Castle

The Cliffs of Moher are a popular place to visit, so passing through Limerick, Bunratty Castle and Doolin on the way, might be something to consider before reaching the Cliffs or even on the way back to Limerick to end the day.

Your last touring day from Limerick could include Birr Castle,  the town of Athlone or the many delights around County Kildare itself. Again, plenty of choices on what to see and do to fill out your travel plans.

We hope this helps get you started, I'm sure our Industry partners and fellow members will have some advice also.
