Hi,
It's great to hear that you have plans to fill a weekend with a road trip, while working in Ireland!
You haven't mentioned where you are based, so this would have an impact on time and distance to any places of interest.
There are a few articles on our website on
Landscapes,
Gardens,
Castles, and
food that you may wish to have a look at. These may give you a starting point for your adventures.
Please let us know whereabouts you are, county will do, and I'm sure we can find some more things for you to try.
Martin
